Students are given time to write, one-on-one editorial assistance, tools to develop performance dynamics, recording opportunities, electronic media play-space, daily workshops and the chance to engage and collaborate in a vibrant network of Spoken Word Artists.  The program is designed to engage, inspire and inform both emerging and established Spoken Word Artists in the craft, history, production, and distribution of this new and developing genre.
