Employing original curriculum honed in workshop settings around the world, Sarah and Phil work with participants to navigate the roadblocks of the creative process, building healthy habits to consistently create and share personal work. Appropriate for new and experienced poets alike, the workshop offers a supportive and safe environment where participants can experiment, practice, and polish their work.
The workshop encourages people to engage with the world around them and use spoken word poetry as an instrument through which they can explore and better understand their community, their society, and ultimately themselves. Participants will also be given an opportunity to perform in CebuLitFest Open Mic sessions programmed throughout the year in various venues in Cebu.
