Excellent attendance and punctuality will be required from all students.

Photography and film recording of class activities may be used in order to aid learning.

Class format and activities
Mode of delivery: online via live stream. We will use Microsoft Teams as our live-stream platform. Working with a published poet, musician and international performer and drawing on the depth and quality of UK spoken word poetry as inspiration, from film, audio and written word, you will create work to be critiqued, workshopped and ultimately performed in an online gig. In order to ensure you make the best possible progress on your course, you will have regular constructive and supportive feedback from your tutor. The tutor will also set assessment activities involving student exchange of ideas and student self-assessment for all students.
