Theater and choral reading techniques will also be covered to help students prepare poems for stage performance. \nThis course is open to writers of all skill levels\, 18+. \nBy the end of the class students will have:  \n\nNew strategies for incorporating storytelling and other oral traditions into crafting spoken word pieces\nExperimentation with beats and rhymes\n1 drafted spoken word poem\n\nRead Amanda’s Writer’s Desk Q&A!\n\nAmanda Eke is an award-winning Nigerian American Artist\, Poet\, Filmmaker\, Educator and Scholar.
