Participants will work through guided prompts while exploring voice, rhythm, pacing, storytelling, and performance techniques that transform personal stories into powerful live performances.

Whether you’re new to slam or looking to refine your delivery, this workshop offers practical tools and supportive feedback to help your writing come alive on stage.
