Details: From blank page to center stage, a spoken word poetry intensive with Jorah LaFleur.
What if this Valentine’s Day could be a portal into penning with passion and letting your heart be heard?
Over the course of Valentines Day weekend with Jorah LaFleur (voted the Best Poet in Eugene!), you’ll move from a blank page to sharing onstage as you write and perform a spoken word poem.
This workshop might be for you if:
-You’ve wanted to write spoken word poetry but haven’t known how to start.
-You have experience writing for the page, but want to practice writing towards the stage.
-You want to explore wordsy creativity as a way to deal with the pain and hilarity of being human.
-You’re a writer who enjoys the productive power of a committed container full of prompts, new approaches, and invitations to get unstuck.
-You’re a bit terrified of hearing your voice on a mic, and have a secret desire to share your work with an audience.
In this weekend writing retreat, you will:
-Do a whole bunch of fun writing and sharing.
-Be able to honor whatever feelings come up in the process.
-Give and receive support, and build writing community.
-Hang out in a cocoon of creativity with hot tea and chocolate.
-Get better connected to yourself and others through poetry.
“The experience was monumental. Jorah guided us on an amazing journey. I personally will never forget it.” -Ana Boyd, Page to Stage
