Performance Workshop with Doc Luben (presented by Bigfoot Reg.)

Literary Arts 925 SW Washington Street, Portland

This upbeat, nuts-and-bolts performance workshop will focus on how to amplify your own unique power and rhythms to connect more deeply with your audience, and how to steer around the unconscious habits and blocks that keep your beautiful, ugly, important poems from being heard as they deserve to be.

This event is free and open to the public as part of The Bigfoot Regional Poetry Slam, a two-day poetry festival and competition happening in Downtown Portland.
