Performance and Presentation

Do you want to make more of your readings and events? Would you like to engage better with your audience? Are you terrified of reading in front of people?

Performance and Presentation can help you to perform effectively and overcome nerves.

The course

Festivals and literary events are an important part of promoting your work and a great way of connecting with your audience, however even experienced performers do not always get the most out of their readings. 

Performance and Presentation has been created specifically for writers and can help with:

  • nerves
  • breath support
  • vocal variety
  • non-verbal communication.

Performance and Presentation will help you to say what you want to say while captivating your audience.

Only eight places are offered to allow for personal feedback on each individual performance.  In previous courses, writers with years of event experience have benefited, as well as those too terrified to take the stage.
