WORD! & Renaissance One Present: Poetry, Creativity and Shaping a Voice in the Arts: A Creative Workshop with Philip Nanton
Hearing Loop
A conversational and practical space to think, connect and ask questions.
This workshop is for artists and creatives who enjoy writing poetry or are keen to develop techniques in writing and performing poetry or spoken word. We will focus on some of the tools and habits that can be useful to incorporate within our working and everyday lives. Within a creative setting, this will be an occasion to pick up insights on honing your voice, reading and exploring poetry and forms of research that can inform and develop your writing, and it will also offer an opportunity to ask the author questions.

What are ‘Pay What You Can’ tickets?
We believe that that arts should be accessible for all. For this reason some of our shows and events this year will be ‘Pay What You Can’, meaning that you decide how much you can or want to pay. This expands access to the arts for those who may not have been able to participate otherwise, or gives others the chance to support those who cannot by paying a bit extra.
You will see multiple prices available for each show or event. You can select whichever price you can afford or would like to pay – thank you.
