Workshops, seminars and readings: Saturday 21st September
Following fabulous days in Ballymoney and Belfast in July and August, Poetry in Motion Community is delighted to announce the third of our three one-day poetry events which will take place on Saturday 21st September at the Ardhowen Theatre (Google maps).
The day will begin with registration at 11.15am and a chance to meet and mingle with other writers before engaging in a choice of poetry workshops and seminars with CAP poet facilitators. There will be opportunities to begin and to develop poems through a myriad of workshops; chances to explore paths into becoming a poet facilitator or networking with writers groups; a platform to share your own work and to hear the work of other poets.
Whether you are a complete beginner or a published and polished poetic master there will be something for you! There will be a choice of three options at each of the three sessions during the day – and so you can build your day around the options which most inspire your poetic perspiration.
However, if you would like to register for a free place at the festival, please email chelley@capartscentre.com stating Enniskillen Fest in the subject line. Places are limited so please RSVP as soon as possible!
The festival will conclude with an open reading at 5.15 pm at which participants will have the opportunity to share their work.
