Seki - Leeds£36

£36Find YOUR Creative Voice – with 2 x published author, poet, and educator, Seki

Are you passionate about poetry, drama and literature? Want to develop your writing skills with a creative and inspiring mentor? Join me in my engaging and dynamic classes, where I combine my experience as a published author, performance poet and playwright with a deep love for teaching. I've had the privilege of performing poetry alongside jazz musicians, blending the rhythm of words with the energy of live music, creating truly immersive and evocative experiences. My theatre productions have brought together storytelling, dance, poetry and rap to create hilarious and heartbreaking narratives that left audiences buzzing. I draw on all of this experience in my classes. My workshops are designed to help you explore your creative literary practice in innovative ways, whether you're a beginner or a seasoned writer looking to refine your craft. In addition to my performances, I've taught poetry workshops in schools and creative writing at the prestigious Leeds Playhouse. I’ve worked with diverse groups of students and writers of all ages. I specialise in creating a supportive and creative space for you to experiment with your voice, learn from classic and contemporary works, and gain practical skills to elevate your writing. Through my classes, you’ll gain: - Insight into the craft of poetry, prose and drama from a published author, poet and playwright. - The opportunity to experiment with different styles, from formal verse to free verse, prose to performance. - A deeper understanding of English literature, with a focus on both classic texts and modern works. - Techniques for writing that combine creativity with technical skill. - The chance to share your work in a safe and encouraging space. Whether you dream of publishing your first collection or simply want to enhance your love for the written word, I offer personalised guidance that caters to your individual needs and interests. Let’s explore the world of poetry and literature together, and unlock your unique voice as a writer!

Besiana - Tirana, Albania£48

£48Creative writing - Poetry in English - Learn how to write beautiful poetry

Trusted teacher: In the modern world, the significance of poetry is overlooked. From Aristotle to Derrida (the range is not comprehensive), literary theory has maintained that a poem's power is measured in its affect. Throughout this course, our goal will not be to make inscrutable poetic analysis - though the first part of the lesson will be spent analysing word choice, meter, line length and spaces of an English poem written between pre-modernism and postmodernism. Rather, through our perusal of poetic form we will be able to ground our work, somewhat modestly, in the English poetic tradition. Before the first class you will send me some of your own work so I know how to build or refine aesthetic temperament. I have been writing poetry for ten years and two years ago I published a chapbook at a press with competitive standards, and I am currently working on a full-length collection. If you wish to take up poetry seriously, time is needed and an eye for detail is essential. I look forward to us broadening our aesthetic sensibilities together.

Ahmad - Pakistan£12

£12Dead Poet Society; A gathering of eccentric and outcasts, in the memory of all the greats of history.

Trusted teacher: The title of class itself speaks volume. I am looking for crazy romantics and intellectual insiders to join me on this journey. Where we will merge into all kinds of things we find interesting. Things which are degrading and losing value. Things we find less people to talk about every next day. I am establishing here a platform for all kinds of artists and thinkers, eccentrics and cast outs so can share each other's company helping us ease existential burden. Learning together, Growing together. Discover together. Moving forward together. Get ready to create some new gods and remember some old ones. Carpe-diem.

Creative writing - Poetry in English - Learn how to write beautiful poetry (Amsterdam)

Besiana

Besiana helped me improve my writing and development as a poet by a lot in just a very short amount of time. It was always a very pleasant experience having lessons with her. She's very supportive and was always available for advice or any questions that I had and guided me in my writing journey even beyond the classes to help me get the best out of my work. I would recommend her lessons to beginners, advanced poets who need a little refining or anybody who wants to incorporate art into their everyday life's.
