So, last Sunday I was lucky enough to help run a workshop held at Anglia Ruskin University as part of Cam Skills Fest 2014, with poet Fay Roberts and SHINDIG's very own Wesley Freeman-Smith.
The workshop explored how poetry and storytelling changes with musical accompaniment. All the music was improvised and unscripted, the musicians switched instruments and we even scattered a few items of percussion amongst the audience. It was a tremendous to be given the chance to experiment with the narrative elements of my poetry, and how this is affected when live music is added. It forces you to think about rhythm, tone and tempo in a completely new light. The unique opportunity to collaborate with such talented musicians (Teresa [aka MOUTH] & Gaze Is Ghost) was what made the afternoon for me.
