Poetry Out Loud: Performance Poetry for Teens and Adults

Description:
Created in such a way that is meant to be preformed rather than read, performance poetry is a new phenomenon that is taking the world by storm. Often used as an outlet, this modern way of poetry has now become something that is widely known and respected in some of the most refined circles. Performance poetry is just that, a performance, and the focus is not only on what the poet is saying, but how they're saying it. Part carnival, boxing match, and symphony concert, these mind-bending performances take the audience by surprise as they deconstruct societal norms and bring issues to the forefront. Come prepared to recite original works and enjoy an evening of poetry. Occasional videos and works by well-known performers.
