Join our Voices of Hope writing workshops!

  • 17 February 202117 February 2021
As part of our Voices for Change project, and following the successful start of our song project, we invite you to join us and write with us about hope!

Whether you’re a budding poet or a master writer, we invite you to share your creativity with us, or join us to learn a new art and meet new friends in a relaxed atmosphere.

We’ll be writing about HOPE – our experiences during lockdown but also our dreams and plans for the future!

We’re running workshops over three Zoom sessions, with the third session being a showcase event to share our work with each other so far.

No experience necessary, open to everyone in Newham, 14 – 114 years old! Join our Zoom Sessions on Tuesday 16 or Thursday 18 February at 3pm, with a chance to share our work together at a showcase event on Friday 19 February at 6pm.
Please register here (selecting ‘writing/ poetry workshops’) and we’ll send your joining instructions over.

The workshops are led by Michael Elcock and Omar Bynon, both actors and poets who started their training at Theatre Royal Stratford East. They are part of Barbican Young Poets, Poets Platform and founders of Rhythm of Men.

Michael is a graduate of Royal Central school of Speech and Drama he has appeared in shows at the Young Vic, the National Theatre and Regents Park Open Air.

Omar is a graduate of RADA and has worked with the Roundhouse, the National Theatre and The Yard Stratford.
