22 Jun 2006, 9:10 PM   | More posts about performance poetry!! You can hide this advertisement by registering. i do believe there isn't enough chatter regarding performance poetry.please if anyone has chosen this medium, what topics/themes are you exploring? have you found any inspiration from any performer/poet in particular? i really would love to hear more about other people doing this medium. im the only one in my school and my teacher has no clue. im a little bit scared. excited and scared. |

11 Aug 2007, 4:35 AM | Just to clarify, what exactly is performance poetry, and how does it differ from normal poetry? It can't be as self explanatory as it sounds. Or perhaps I'm an idiot.

basically, it is an audio medium, presented like a radio play or speech. ten minute limit (i think? i probably should know that...), and it contains elements of your egular poetry and performance. its spoken word poetry basically. you can use music or sound effects etc. its like poetry, but its very different too. you need a different approach and awareness to what you would need if u were just writing poetry. its for perfroming, to an audience. its hard because its only audio for the HSC, because it is also a visual medium. i am only just grasping the possibilities. it seems pretty broad and diverse. the past years' outstanding works in performance poetry (from the books) contained one piece which was sort of narrative-like, it was based on a myth or something, and told a story, and the other one was like a series of poems, set in a toilet, it was more free verse. | |

so far, during drafts and editing, i'm just using a recording element in my digital camera to start mixing poems with sounds and music and working out how to piece them all together, but i'm intending on using my schoo's recording equipment, or some that a friend has. most schools have recording equipment either in music rooms. apparently we have recording stuff in our school hall, where the PA and everything is. im not sure. investigate within your school though. otherwise you can book pro studios for a day or two (or however long) but that costs. you can usually hire someone to help you record too (dont know how far this is allowed according to BOS though??) and you can set up in your home or garage or something- that's how alot of amateur bands get recordings done. it's good to investigate your resources in your school and family and friends- see how much u can get for free. paying for stuff stinks. keep posting- it's good to hear how others are going.  | |

25 Apr 2009, 4:26 PM | i'm not sure how useful it might be, but it might be worth looking into performance poetry with MC's and other things like that. maybe look into pioneers like Scott Heron, curtis mayfield (i think he's a poet) or maybe even guys like the beastie boys. i think i might have already put the site up here, but Saul Williams is another very good performance poet / musician / actor, his site is at www.saulwilliams.com, you can also download some of his work over the p2p networks. you could also look for the spoken word album from Jim Morrison (of The Doors), his album 'An American Prayer' is a performance poetry album with music and sound effects aswell. look for his lyrics to the album on lyrics sites

8 Feb 2007, 6:02 AM | editing programs hey, sorry for lateness of reply post... I am using Pro Tools, as my sister has it on her mac. how were you planning to record anyway? as its quite simple just to record straight onto one's computer, and cut and past, then burn onto a cd... also using a 4 track or less tape recorder works just as well. peace |
