Slam poetry began in Chicago’s bars and coffeehouses in the late 1980s. This phenomenal blend of spoken and written word turns every willing soul into a poet while providing relief from the stresses of the day. Master teaching artist Gayle Danley has shared her down-on-the-floor style of performance poetry all over the country in classrooms, lecture halls, theatres, and even on CBS’s 60 minutes.
Join her for much laughter, emotion, comfort, understanding, and instruction in the art of slam poetry. Her 4-step process has been tried in the fire and proven to be an effective antidote to the blues of the day and the isolation that threatens to drive us mad!
