Mayhem Poets: Slam in the Schools
Thursday, December 3, 2009
Grades 5-8
Self-expression specialists bring poetry alive speaking directly to the concerns of middle school students. These theatre trained, comedically gifted, lyrical virtuosos seamlessly blend raw elements of hip hop, theatre, improv and stand up comedy to tell gut wrenching truths that leave audiences forever changed.
A sell-out for the past two seasons, Mayhem Poets use hip-hop rhythms and dynamic theatrical techniques with a touch of humor and live music to take your students on a verbal adventure. The Poets show how meter, rhyme and verbal dexterity are not only the concerns of poets of the past but also contemporary slam performers in an engaging, inspirational and fun performance.
