Word Play Workshops: Ruth Awolola
- This event has passed.
As part of our upcoming top-secret exhibition, we will be inviting three poets to explore the new display’s themes and wordplay in a series of exciting workshops.
These workshops will take place on the Score Gallery, draw inspiration from their surroundings and encouraging visitors to explore its themes through wordplay and poetry.
Ruth Awolola is a poet, performer and theatre-maker, who has showcased her poetry for a wide variety of audiences, specifically schools and young people. Ruth has performed across the United Kingdom and internationally, including at the Hay Literature Festival and the BBC Edinburgh Fringe Slam, and is currently Learning Officer at MMU’s Manchester Poetry Library.
Ruth will be running a Poetry of the Pitch session, featuring different activities for a range of ages and abilities. These include fun acrostic poems, writing from the perspective of an object, and a special workshop on writing to the referee!
