Do you want to learn how to play with words and share your story with power and emotion?
We invite you to an inspiring Spoken Word workshop with Derek Otte: poet, writer, and former city poet of Rotterdam. As coach of Poetry Circle 010, Derek has already helped many young writing talents get started. Now is your chance to attend one of his workshops here at THUAS!
During this workshop, you’ll discover how to bring words to life, capture emotions in language, and find your unique voice. Whether you already have experience with Spoken Word and want to improve your skills or you’re simply curious – everyone is welcome!
Derek offers the workshop and personal feedback in both Dutch and English. There are only 25 spots available, so make sure to sign up quickly!
As always, it's free for students and staff! Please register:
And…would you like to perform your piece in front of an audience? 🎙️
