Join award-winning performance poet Dominic Berry for this hands-on workshop designed to help you bring your words to life. Whether you’ve already read at one of our Spoken Word Nights or you’re still working up the courage, this small, supportive session will give you practical tools and encouragement to step up to the mic.
In this two-hour workshop, you’ll explore:

- Building stage confidence in a friendly space
Please bring a small selection of your poetry or writing with you — you’ll have the chance to workshop a piece and get feedback on your performance.

This workshop will take place in the basement studio of the Burnley Mechanics, which can be accessed step-free, directly from the car park behind the Mechanics.
