Workshop: ‘Experimental Poetry & Sound’ with Shehzar Doja

How can we become attuned with the weight of words when composing a poem? How can memories affect the language and vocabulary of a poem? How can we construct and de-construct our thought processes during the act of writing? Through a series of experimental writing and reading exercises Shehzar Doja will lead us through an exploration of performance, elocution, sound, external stimulus, association, recitation, in order to draw out the innate resonating power behind the act of creating poetry: poetry that is dynamic, shifting and powerful. This is an intermediate workshop open to everyone however people who have already some experience in poetry or interest in experimentation may particularly benefit.
