An Auditory Poetic Experience with MAD Arts
Join South Florida poet Carolene Kurien at MAD Arts on Saturday, June 7th, for a generative writing workshop inspired by the artwork on display.
From songs to speeches, company names to billboards, poetic devices like alliteration, assonance, and onomatopoeia are frequently utilized to create memorable sonic experiences. This third iteration of the five-part workshop series* will focus on the lyrical techniques that help words sing, and will encourage participants to write a poem that captures the auditory elements of the museum’s immersive exhibits.
This will be a time for learning, creation, reflection, and community. Writing materials will be provided by MAD Arts.
RSVP by sending an email to art@yeswearemad.com with the subject line: Poetry Workshop.
Mark your calendars for the rest:
*Anyone who participates in one workshop session will be able to continue with the rest of the workshop series at no additional cost.
