This weeks work

Monday the 24^th of January I started the week off holding a workshop at Haybridge High School in Hagley working with year 7’s and 8’s. All students came up to the front performed their poems so I hope they enjoyed the day!

Tuesday the 25^th I’m heading over to Four Dwellings High School to hold 2 workshops with 80 kids and a workshop with some of the guys at the flip centre.

Thursday 27^th I’m back at Haybridge getting the students to write around the theme of ‘identity’

Friday the 28^th in the afternoon I’m at the MAC in cannon hill with Bright Space so if you’re free please come and pop your face in. I’ll be there from half 12. Then on the night time it’s the final to find Worcestershire’s first ever Young Poet Laureate. What a cracking night that will be.

And to finish the week off on the 29^th I’m doing a little 10 minute performance at a youth service event just to get the audience nice and relaxed before their fab day begins!

The final stretch before Christmas

The last little bit of work for 2010 is here.

Monday the 13^th of December I’ve been to two schools holding workshops for the Worcestershire Young Poet Laureate competition. In the morning I was at Forest Oak before travelling to Stourport High school so fingers crossed the YPL will have a few more entries.  

Tuesday the 14^th I’m at the MAC holding an all day workshop trying to build the confidence and inspire the pupils of Virtual College. Let’s hope I get them all up to the front performing their work.

Wednesday the 15^th I finish off for Christmas at the council house performing at another ‘chance to shine’ tea party – with a Christmas theme!

Worcestershire YPL at the Artrix

Tomorrow (27^th October) I complete my final workshop in search for Worcestershire’s first ever Young Poet Laureate at the artrix in Bromsgrove. If your under 18 and want the chance to be Worcestershire’s first YPL then come down. I’ll be there from 11am until 4pm. http://www.worcestershire.gov.uk/cms/leisure-and-culture/young-poet-laureate.aspx for details.
