Writing is rebellion. Performing it is freedom.

This masterclass will be a hands- on immersion into the art form of spoken word, led by award-winning spoken word performer and poet, Shivram Gopinath. Not only will you learn the historical significance and presence of spoken word in popular culture, but you will also work on the craft of writing and performing your own work.

From building stage confidence to understanding how to present intimate emotions aloud, you are guaranteed to leave this masterclass feeling ready for an open mic.
