Spoken Word and Performance Poetry

Description

Explore the art of performance poetry, engage in critique/analysis of past and present performers and poetic styles through text, video and audio samplings, find/develop/refine our own voices through writing exercises and take written poems on the journey to become spoken word pieces/performance poems. Taught by Daemond Arrindell, Slammaster of the Seattle Poetry Festival.

Daemond Arrindell is the Seattle Slammaster and producer of the longest running weekly show in Seattle - the Seattle Poetry Slam. Daemond is a 5-time coach of the Seattle National Poetry Slam Team, currently ranked 6th in the nation. Workshop facilitator, community organizer, advocate and poet - he holds strong to the belief that poetry is a grand tree with a vast array of branches that all contribute to the complexity of the art form and it is the challenge of the artist to continue to push him/herself to grow within it. Daemond's love for the craft of poetry and the art of spoken word and their ability to alter the emotional state of a listener knows no bounds.
