Description:

In this performance-based workshop incorporating lessons of Hip Hop along with traditional theatre techniques into the performance of spoken word, participants learn an integrated system of performance called microphone control. What are the three elements of microphone control? Control of your equipment, control of your audience, and control of yourself.

Purpose:

Participants learn how to master the forces, both internal and external that will help them improve as spoken word artists, compete in slams, and apply those lessons to any performance discipline they choose.

CATEGORIES: SKILLS, PERFORMANCE, TECHNICAL
