This workshop is an opportunity for spoken word artists, performance poets and lyricists to broaden their creative platforms.

Set over two days the first workshop will cover writing skills and help generate material from personal history and identity towards the second workshop where artists will experiment with performance and recording.

With producing, writing and studio professionals on hand, this is a chance to get under the skin of writer/performer drama for theatre and radio.

To apply, please send a short covering letter stating your interest in the workshop and a sample of your work (this can be a web link) to clare.lovell@birmingham-rep.co.uk by 24 May 2010.

Artists need to attend both workshops and be over the age of 18.
