Somatic Poetry Workshop

This workshop will explore embodied storytelling and spoken word poetry using sensory somatic experiencing techniques, active imagination and contemplative practices.

Memory is the selection of images, affect and narrative. Each image, story or sensory experience is contained within the body-mind library. This workshop will put us in the practice of remembering the stories and resources we hold inside.

When: Saturday November 30th 5-6.30pm

Where: Collingwood House, Johnston Street, Collingwood

 
 
 

About the practice

In this workshop we will begin by sharing and referencing writing that speaks to the body or is grounded in sensory experience. There will be an opportunity to reflect both individually and collectively.

For those who are curious about inviting the voice and body into their poetry practice. We will be thinking about rhythm, breath, sensation and tracking impulse in the body and the spoken word.

We will explore sensory experiencing, somatic centring techniques and active imagination practices, which can support us in accessing memory and poetic prose.

After having an embodied experience of these techniques, we will consider the therapeutic possibilities of poetry and spoken word performance as a social act.
