A Gift for Yourself

Penzance Literary Festival presents a workshop with Megan Chapman (aka MCMC Spoken).

Lyrical rhyming wizard Megan Chapman (aka MCMC Spoken) returns with added lemon zest for 2023. This workshop will help you create a piece of performance writing, focusing wholly on the self from start to finish. Bring something close to you: either an idea or a physical object. You will then have the opportunity to perform your work later in the day. From page to stage we’ll prime your rhyme.
