The art of performance poetry is often considered as a magical skill that can help the performers captivate the mind of their audience.
The perfect mix and balance of right words, emotions and the way of presenting a piece leaves a long-lasting impact on people.
Performance poetry gives the audience a chance to not only listen to what the performer has to say but also feel the emotions through the performer’s gestures.
In that way, it literally adds on to the overall appeal of a poetic piece.
The performer with the help of literary devices, emits the energy, expressions etc. and reflects what is written.
Performance Poetry in simpler terms is nothing but a performance for the audience. However, to put it in a more artistic way, many would argue that performance poetry is a journey of a literary piece from a paper to a body. What is written on a paper is beautifully expressed in the performance.
The growth of performance poetry can be attributed to slam poetry and the advent of digital platforms. With an increase in poetry communities on digital platforms, performance poetry is reaching to the masses. Performance poetry, also called spoken word poetry sometimes, has its roots in oral traditions. Before the written word, people often used to pass information from one generation to another through spoken poetry only.
This is one of the most inclusive art forms that allows people to express freely and reach the audience easily.
Good luck to the poet and performer in you. Happy writing and performing!
