A chance to hone your writing and spoken word skills with some of the UK's best poets. This month's masterclass is with spoken word artist and YA novelist Polarbear a.k.a Steven Camden.
Bio: Born and raised in the city of Birmingham, Polarbear is one of the most respected spoken word artists in the UK. After an accidental fall into spoken word involving a broken P.A system and a complete misunderstanding, he developed into a fully-fledged spoken word artist known for delivering stories that make sense. In his unique performances, language and rhyme patterns from his Hip-Hop roots combine with the day-to-day sentiment of a man trying to figure things out.
Performances at Glastonbury, OneTaste, Electric Picnic and Jazz Café, as well as a UK tour in 2006, have built up his reputation as a storyteller for the twenty-first century. His story If I Cover My Nose You Can’t See Me toured the UK in 2008.
Workshop Outline: Writing Mess with Polarbear
"My ideas don't exist in straight lines. They don't put their hands up politely in class or even show up on time. So I stopped trying to make them."
This month, join Polarbear for a celebration of mess in the writing process. A (really, really) informal session revolving around the different ways he searches, finds and refines characters in both poetry and prose.
Come prepared to talk, listen, share and follow ideas and hopefully leave with a sense that sometimes, we're leading our writing, and sometimes we're just along for the ride.
The masterclass is open to all ages and abilities. Participants are only expected to bring their own writing utensils, a notepad/tablet/laptop.
There are 25 spaces available. Any queries or concerns please email outspokenldn@gmail.com
[This event is held in the upstairs in the Foundry room]
