Idea
Audial feedback loop - workshop proposal
I wondered if anyone would be interested in a workshop that looked at improving poet’s development by the use of audio recording and critique, in order to appreciate reading, recitation, the sounds and cadences of words, as spoken by different people from all over the world. Format could be:
All participants submit a piece in the workshop..
Participants selected to read other members work..exciting..
Then upon reading, critique the poem, based on its reading.
Participants then submit a revised piece informed by the crit in the responses to the audio
Finally we have all our completed poems, wrap up and compare and contrast, discuss reading styles, pace, end-stopping versus enjambment etc., and how that is interpreted by different reader. Some could submit classic meter, while others could use free verse.
The improved poems, can all be presented (in audio format) on the Facebook page, along with article.
Thoughts anyone?
