Writing immortalizes humanity. Performing it 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. 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 2 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.To hear more from Giovanni Ortega, view his video here on YouTube.For school bookings, please email to poetryfestivalsg@gmail.com.Event DetailsDate: 31 July 2022Time: 2pm - 4pmPrice: $15Location: LASALLE College of the Arts, Ngee Ann Kongsi Library (1 McNally St, Singapore 187940)AudienceGeneral audienceWorkshop Objectives Students will develop writing skills for Poetry in performance based on their own narrative as well as utilizing fantasy.
