46 A Spoken Word Masterclass

Vancouver International Writers & Readers Festival veteran Sheri-D Wilson founded the Calgary International Spoken Word Festival, the largest of its kind in Canada. She has performed her spoken word pieces around the world, and she has recently edited The Spoken Word Workbook. In this master class, Sheri-D will share tips and lead exercises to help you with writing, preparing and performing spoken-word pieces with style and confidence. One of the fastest-growing forms of literary art, spoken word follows a long tradition of oral poetry, and the fundamentals remain: it has to be well written and well performed to be art.

Tickets are still available and can be purchased at the door 45 minutes before the event begins.
