'THE TRUTH SHALL SET YOU FREE' by Carvens Lissaint
  
How do we disect the heart? How do we allow our true stories and honest life experiences to propel us while pushing the envelope of performance poetry? In this workshop we will tap into the most truthful universal emotions (Love, Hate, Lust, Happiness, Pain, Suffering, etc) and use it as a vehicle for expression. We will explore performance and theater techniques, movement, and therapeutic life building exercises to help us reach magic on the stage! There will be tears, There will be fear, But there WILL be BEAUTY!

How do we stare into the face of Impossible? (This post inspired by my beautiful mentee and friend Kamone)

They're things that move me beyond measure. Art has been my motivation to live, but this man right here gives me the words I need to keep pushing in the darkest of hours. Might be one of the greatest Actors of our time, Will Smith has figured out his purpose and has survived because of it!

When you feel down and out, when you feel like life has broke you, when you want to throw up the white flag, push just alil bit harder, that is TURE GREATNESS!

"Greatness lives off the edge of destruction" -WIll Smith
