"Exuberance is beauty"
-William Blake
Exuberance is beauty,
Put it on your face.
Put it in the way you walk
A little pep in the step of your pace.
Exuberance is beauty,
It turns a thread to lace.
It takes a simple, ordinary room
And makes it a magical place.
Poetry Performances
It's a large group gathering. It's an exuberant happening! Drums and drama! Daring and danger! It's not quite a freak show, but it might get stranger! Begin playing the game of poetry by acting out Bill’s poems in a show. Poetry Performances are for groups of all sizes and last 50 minutes.
Poetry Workshops
They may not all be poets, but every child has poetry. In a Poetry Workshop Bill uses a variety of prompts: provocative quotes, mysterious photos and strange sounds - to get everybody playing with words. It may be a game, but poetry will build some serious academic muscle!
Poetry Day
A Poetry Day includes two performances and three workshops. It's one of the best ways to get your entire school excited about reading and writing. Add an Open Mike Night and get your families involved too!
Open Mike Night
Let the Beatniks rule and the bongos play while your students recite the night away. An Open Mike Night gives young writers a chance to share their poems with friends and family.
Poetry Residency
Unleash the poetic power of your entire school with A Child's Voice Poetry Residency. A week of performances and workshops will help every student discover their unique voice.
Teacher Workshop
The best teachers of writing are writing teachers. Seriously Playing with Words is a workshop that helps teachers discover their own voice while inspiring their students to read and write.
