'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!
