Spoken Word and Performance Poetry Workshops
Bring poetry to life with a dynamic workshop that blends writing, rhythm, and performance — helping students find their voice and confidence on stage.
Our Spoken Word and Performance Poetry workshops transform the way students think about poetry.
Through engaging rap-based activities, pupils explore rhythm, rhyme, and meaning — developing their creative writing skills while building the confidence to perform their work aloud.
It’s all about turning words into something that moves, inspires, and connects.

✍️ Write their own original poems using rhythm and imagery
