Are you an aspiring poet? Do you want to connect the world’s or poetry & hip-hop? Do you want to gain confidence on stage? Join this course as Nick coaches and encourages giving power to the poets. Learn more deeply about the complexities and politics of the spoken word. Nick will touch on the history of hip-hop and walk each student through finding your voice and preparing for an in-house open mic.

Before a poet steps to the microphone, it is important that they grasp an understanding of what poetry is, what spoken word, and how the two are related. This workshop session will touch on this history and level the poetic playing field for writers and performers of all levels.
