Poetry, page & stage with Clare Shaw
Hive Young Writers’ Day –
Poetry, page and stage with Clare Shaw
A partnership event with Off the Shelf Festival of Words
When: Saturday 22nd October 2016 – from 10.30 to 4.30pm
We launch our regional Young Writers’ Day programme (for writers under 25) at this year’s Off the Shelf Festival of Words with poet and performer, Clare Shaw, described as “One of Britain’s most dynamic and powerful young poets” (Arvon). Clare will look at poetry for both page and performance, with some tips for young people who might be doing their first open mic with Hive on 27th October.
Hive Young Writers’ Days are a chance for you, whatever your interest and ability, to develop your writing with support from a professional writer, meet other young writers, and get involved in the Hive young writers’ network. Hive Young Writers’ Days are open to young people 14 to 25 (more or less! if that’s not quite you but you’d like to come, get in touch with: [email protected])
For more about the days click here.
Cost: £6 full day (with refreshments but not lunch included).
Discounts: Hive is particularly keen to encourage young people who wouldn’t normally access this type of opportunity, and there are always discounts available for a number of tickets to support individuals who may be unable to pay in full, or to support travel costs within the region. Get in touch ASAP before places fill up if that sounds like you.
