Spoken Word

Our mentees learned about writing and theatre from Clarybelle for the second half of Saturday’s workshop. They began with some exercises that are done before a show, like “I am, I like, I do”, walking around the space at different speeds, mirroring a partner, and heads up, heads down. The goal of these particular exercises is to connect and work as a team collectively. Once they were connected, the mentees starting working on short pieces of writing about objects around the room to practice being descriptive and depth, as well as stories about moments in their lives that are significant. Clarybelle also taught them that simply writing something down can help it to feel more real or can help to release it from their thoughts. The mentees had a lot of fun interacting and learning new things during this workshop! We can’t wait to see Clarybelle again!
