NCRA 52nd Annual North Carolina Reading Conference

Spoken Word combines creative writing with the skill of oration and the subtle nuance of theatre and improvisation. It can be emotional, inspirational, educational, and as creative and expressive as your imagination. This session explores the how the art form can enhance the understanding of differences, affirm and empower voices, and increase the awareness of shared experiences through collaboration. It will provide participants with examples of poetic collaboration, ways of building collaboration, and an understanding of how these collaborations can be transformational and impactful for the students involved.
