Allographic Workshop: “Turning Words Into Performance” with Mark Niel

Reserve your place via Eventbrite: http://agwoctober13-efbevent.eventbrite.co.uk
Allographic has three forms of live event – “Other Voices”, open mic with featured guests every 4th Sunday of the month; “Allographic presents…”, a loose series of events with bigger names from the spoken word scene, and a burgeoning set of workshops for aspirant poets, storytellers, and other writers and performers.

Attendees of the workshop will get free entry to the Other Voices show that evening if they get up and perform, otherwise you get the concession rate.

Turning Words Into Performance: a practical session for all poets, whether page- or stage-based. It aims to help “readers” who want more confidence when reading in public as well as “performers” looking to develop their skills.

Poets should bring a piece or extract with them (no longer than two minutes) they would like to work on during the session.

Mark Niel is an award-winning, professional performance poet. His philosophy that poetry can be entertainment as well as art has seen him perform everywhere from mainstream theatres to pubs, festivals, libraries, comedy clubs, schools, football stadiums and cruise ships. Mark was appointed as the first official Poet Laureate of Milton Keynes in 2011 and is the Poet in Residence for the MK Dons for the 2012/2013 season.

His first collection, “Somewhere South of Normal”, was published by Allographic Press in 2012.
