Invite us for a literature session or a separate creative writing / performance workshop. We shape the focus around your institution and participants.
01 / Literature session
Live slam, shared interpretation and conversation about contemporary poetry. Through texts, we explore poetic devices, verse forms and rhyme schemes, and consider what performance adds to the written word.
The focus is on encountering literature and thinking together. We discuss links to your curriculum or institutional theme beforehand.
Let’s talk about a different kind of lesson02 / Creative writing / performance workshop
We work with participants’ ideas, writing and voices. A workshop can focus on creative writing, editing, performance techniques or how these connect.
Alongside individual work, collaborative writing and team slam can be possible directions. We choose the focus around the group’s needs.
I’m interested in a workshopLive texts connect slam with imagery, verse forms and rhyme schemes. The boundaries between genres can also start a conversation.
In a workshop, we work with participants from ideas to shaping texts. Individual perspectives, collaborative writing and team slam can all have a place.
We explore how emphasis, pace and pauses shape meaning. Trying a text aloud also gives feedback on the writing.
We make space for articulating thoughts and listening to others. Self-awareness and critical thinking connect to texts and shared discussion.
How we work together
Live slam, shared interpretation, conversation and writing: we balance these around the selected programme. Participants can explore verse forms, rhyme schemes and performance techniques. Workshops can focus on original texts and trying them aloud; literature sessions foreground literary connections and shared discussion.

Slam makes room for these questions too. Alongside literature, we explore self-awareness, self-expression and critical thinking.
