Spoken Word, Poetry, and Language as Theatre
Wednesday, March 8, 2023
12:00 pm to 1:00 pm
Although some poetry may be written for the page to be consumed privately, poetry as an art form is steeped in the history of oral storytelling. Spoken word, slam poetry, and poetry alike can serve as intimate and passionate dialogues between the writer and the audience. Join us for a conversation with playwrights who have translated their passion for these art forms into their works for the stage in powerful, new ways.
This event has been prerecorded, and will be available to watch on-demand online from March 8, 2023 to April 8, 2023.
