Speak Your Story: Spoken Word Workshop

Through creative writing prompts, guided exercises, and performance techniques, students learn to craft meaningful poetry, create vivid imagery, and connect with an audience. Participants will have opportunities to write, perform, and receive supportive feedback in an encouraging environment while exploring voice, pacing, movement, and audience engagement. Jovan Mays is the inaugural and emeritus Poet Laureate of Aurora, Colorado, a National Poetry Slam Champion.
