ABOUT THIS EVENT
Join us for Poetry in Performance, a dynamic and supportive workshop designed specifically for women ages 18 and up—whether you're a beginner or a seasoned poet. This intimate, body-positive, and empowering session is led by acclaimed poet and performer Magdalena Gómez, Springfield’s Poet Laureate from 2019 to 2022.
In this 3-hour interactive workshop, you'll learn how to:
-
Dismiss performance anxiety
-
Embody your voice and presence on stage
-
Inspire listeners through authentic expression
-
Embrace vulnerability and joy in the moment
-
Connect with others through the shared power of poetry
This is more than just a writing workshop—it's a safe and creative space to find your voice, tap into your physical presence, and use poetry as a vehicle for self-expression, protest, and love.
What to Bring:
-
Your favorite poem printed on paper (not on your phone)
