Poetry Performances
Since 1998, I've been performing poetry professionally for schools, festivals, church and civic programs, and private parties. I memorize and perform original, contemporary and classical poetry using dramatic presentation, improv, and audience participation. My shows run for 45 minutes to an hour. From raps about basketball and soccer to playful songs about an alligator chef or a surfing llama, my poetry performances offer an engaging collection of imagination and fun for audiences of all ages.
COST: $650 / show
NEEDS: cordless mic + small staging area
Workshops and Residencies
I teach workshops and residences for students in grades 3-12 and all ages of adults. I've taught as a community college instructor, a high school English teacher, and a staff development presenter for teachers, so I'm comfortable in all sorts of settings as I share what I've learned as a professional writer, author and editor. I enjoy working with students and teachers who have a variety of needs and concerns when it comes to writing. My goal is to empower writers, foster life-long literacy skills, and offer fun and exciting new ways to approach the writing process from brainstorming and rough drafts to editing and publishing.
Adult Workshops: $200 (90-minute classroom session)
Student Workshops: $100 - $500 (60-min. sessions; fees range in amount depending on number of classes per day)
