Poetry is a creative outlet, a safe haven that makes us forget the worries and monotonous hurdles of everyday life. More often than not, we find solace in words. The fact that there are people out there who feel the same makes this world a little bright and hopeful place.
However, to reach to the innermost corners of the hearts of the audience, how a poet recites the poetry holds great significance. Performance poetry is poetry that is specifically curated to perform before an audience. The writing style here is better suited for oral presentations. This is one of the most inclusive art forms that allows people to express freely and reach the audience easily.
Performance poetry gives poets a chance to not only express or speak their mind but also otice the reactions, the laughs, the surprise, the tension on the faces of their audience. This can help them to fine-tune the literary piece.
Here, both the writing and oratory skills of a performer are tested. Apart from the poetry, the pitch, modulation, other literary and poetic devices are imperative too.
So, what are you waiting for? Ignite the fire, weave all the unsaid emotions into words and let us know how your performance goes. We are always here to encourage you and lend an ear when you need it the most.
Good luck to the poet and performer in you. Happy writing and performing!
