Turning Your Poetry Into a Multimedia Experience

This workshop will guide students in the use of different digital tools to experiment with mediums and enhance the experience of their poetry.

The workshops will consist of 3 Sunday Sessions plus a culminating performance at the end of the series.

In this workshop we will focus on getting around performance stereotypes and work on developing your words as visuals using video and computers. We will be looking at the visual text of a poem, making the audience read not listen. How does composing it this way change your process? 

Todd Anderson will focus on and workshop the technology aspect then Thomas Fucaloro will lead us through performance techniques. As visual as you are, there is still room to enhance performance of your work. We will also be examining classic poetry in order to enhance stage performance. We will be looking at Shakespeare, Dylan Thomas and more.
