Spoken Word is a one-day hands-on workshop that delves into the strange and wonderful phrases we use day to day.
With help and guidance from Here Us we will explore and challenge our use of slang and the physical environment.
In this workshop we will help you to get to grips with 360 photography, 3D scanning and mark making to aid creative thinking and generation of your own spoken word pieces inspired by the Park and local surroundings. The collective outputs of the workshop will support the future development of artworks across the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.
