Build literary skills and creative development through spoken word poetry.
High school students hone their writing craft, refine their performance skills, and analyze poetry in this multi-week residency. Through guided practice with a BAM teaching artist, they create a fun, supportive environment that encourages peer-to-peer critique and deepens their understanding of poetic devices and language.
As students create and perform new works, they develop their individual and collective vision, voice, and power.
