STUDENT WORKSHOPS
Poetry in Action is proud to offer a variety of student workshops!
Performing Poetry
Engage English and Drama students with an impactful workshop exploring poetry through performance, decoding complex texts and boosting understanding. Students will explore ways to illuminate figurative language through physical theatre. They will analyse aural techniques, punctuation, and parts of speech, and bring the music of poetry to life through vocal techniques. This engaging workshop harnesses the power of embodied learning to deepen your students’ understanding of poetry and the power of language. Customise your workshop by selecting up to 5 modules and 11 different poems spanning Shakespearean sonnets to contemporary free verse.
*Available Australia-wide and New Zealand
