Poetry and Performance

“Calling Young Writers from Devon and Cornwall… We can mentor and guide you with your craft and help to bring your work alive in performance with guidance and training from professionals.” – LRS Arts at The Writers’ Block

A days mentoring workshop with Elvis McGonagall and Rick Worthy to inspire and lead you into gently challenging sessions to write and perform your own work. All thanks to LRS Arts

This will be an exchange of knowledge and insights offering a sympathetic ear and helping individuals to realise their full potential as artists and performers.

Our mentors:

Richard Smith – aka Elvis McGonagall, poet and armchair revolutionary (BBC TV, Radio 4, Edinburgh Fringe, Glastonbury, Latitude and Cheltenham Festivals, Shanghai) – will be steering the writing and structure of your poems.

Rick Worthy – LRS Arts/Hub Theatre School – will be making your performance effective through using your voice and body.
