Spoken Word and Oulipo Poetry Workshops
About this Event
Spoken Word workshop with US-based poet/dramatist Giovanni Ortega from 1 PM to 2:30 PM
Writing immortalizes humanity. Performing is freedom. This interactive workshop facilitated by Giovanni Ortega will be a hands-on training into the depths of one’s own history and the visceral art form of Drama and the Spoken Word. Each participant will have the opportunity to share their own stories in poetic form infused with some dramatic tools in performance that connect us but also hinders us creatively. This will allow students to unravel what’s been inside their hearts and minds theatrically, and to create embodied experiences by utilizing the poetic form. This 1 ½ hour workshop will engage participants to converse and perform a narrative poem like no other… their very own that have been seeped into their body and soul.

Visual storytelling/concrete/shape or Oulipo poetry workshop with Desmond Kon from 3 PM to 4:30 PM.
How does one understand form and shape in concrete poetry? Here, we experience visual arrangements — of words, letters, typography — with a resultant expressed image that speaks of the poem’s subject. How does one read such a poetic text as visual text, through ideas of architecture, spatiality, design, line?
Join Desmond Francis Xavier Kon Zhicheng-Mingdé in this workshop, where participants explore what it means to engage with such intriguing poetic texts, and conceive their very own creative works.
