Interested in performing your own work, and in the world of spoken word, rap theater, and poetry? Taught by local emcee, actor, and teaching artist, Carlos Aguirre (also known as "Infinite"), this one-day introductory class offers you an opportunity to tell your stories through both rap and spoken word. We will explore many key elements of these art forms, including rhyme, rhythm, and improvisation. The class will touch on the fundamentals of rap, spoken word, and hip hop; storytelling through music, movement, and facial expression; and tools for writing evocative lyrics and spoken word pieces through instructor-led prompts. No past experience with rap or spoken word is necessary!
This one-day Intro to Rhythm & Original Performance workshop is for you if:
- You’re a performing artist interested in creating and writing your own original work in the world of spoken word, rap, and improvised storytelling.
- You’re interested in bringing a greater sense of rhythm to your movements and voice when acting or performing.
- You want to explore alternative texts such as rap and poetry, and to learn the methods that go along with performing these art forms.
- You’re an actor, singer, or other performing artist interested in exploring the intersection between hip hop and theater.
