Poems Aloud with Joseph Coelho
Join children's author and performance poet Joseph Coelho on an adventure into the wonderful world of poetry. Joseph’s book Poems Aloud features rhymes specifically written to be read aloud: tongue twisters, poems for shouting across the room and poems for whispering in a friend’s ear.
In this event you’ll learn top performance tips from the wicked wordsmith himself, like how to make fantastic use of your voice, your actions, your acting skills and even your friends, as well as how to write poems that jump off the page and into your mouth.
This is a pre-recorded event.
