Guerrilla Poetry Workshop at NCOR 2007
The Guerrilla Poetry Insurgency (GPI) led a Guerrilla Poetry workshop at the National Conference on Organized Resistance (N COR) at American University on Saturday, March 10th. It was a beautiful day out on the quad where over 20 people joined Jeff, Jessica, and Laurie of the GPI to learn about creating an insurgency, adding percussion to back up poets/performers, writing, and performing. Participants created pieces and performed them, and some tested out their percussion skills. The workshop was designed to introduce what the GPI does and how they do it, and then to provide an open mic space.
Participants’ pieces were inspired by the beautiful day, NCOR themes, and the spirit of sharing. Big thanks especially to the participants and also to the NCOR organizers. The GPI holds workshops at schools, colleges, conferences, and other community venues upon request.
