Off The Page: A Performance Workshop

with Poetry @ Tech ft. Sam Sax

What language requires speech? What can we learn from thinking through the poem as a performance score or sheet music? In this generative workshop we'll explore what's possible in the performed poem that isn't on the page, we'll take a look at some recordings of performed poems, do some of our own writing, and go through some exercises aimed at making us better performers of our own work. Free lunch provided.

There's Something In The Water Film Screening

with Kamryn Harris

Be the first to catch the premiere screening of There's Something In The Water. Get ready to dive into an unforgettable experience as we explore the stories of talented artists emerging from an unsuspecting community. Most people have no idea that this community of creatives exists at a school like Georgia Tech. We’re talking incredibly talented artists who studied engineering but are actively pursuing their creative passions. There are more than you would imagine, but here we tell the story of three. There must be something beneath the surface that has cultivated this - something greater than what we can see. There Is Something In The Water. Don't miss out on this opportunity to be the first to see the film. This film was made possible by the support of Georgia Tech Arts
