🎙🎭🎬💃🏽#ArtIsAWeapon @weeksvilleheritagecenter's April #NationalPoetryMonth programming includes #theater talks, #writingworkshops #spokenword, #dance performances and more (swipe ⬅): Regrann from @weeksvilleheritagecenter - Celebrating life through the written word this April in honor of #NationalPoetryMonth! We are elated to welcome @domorisseau in conversation with @keithjosef ahead of the April 24th opening of her play "Paradise Blue". Weeksville Wednesdays will use poetry to trigger memories with poet @negusadeyemi and celebrate HBCUs with a screening of "Tell Them We Are Rising". Our third annual Grand Champion Poetry Slam anchors this month's Weeksville Weekends with special workshops from @thelynngentry and @bam_brooklyn. We've added a second weekend to our roster as @brklyncntr brings their 11th annual National Grid Earth Day to our campus, followed by "Hip-Hop Kingdom", a dance production from @asaseyaa making for a perfect family day. Theater is on the menu as we bring Christina Anderson's "pen/man/ship" to life, alongside a delicious meal crafted by Chef Jenee Grannum. Words @ Weeksville has a double header this month with an adult writing workshop by @mobrowne and readings from Jacqueline Jones LaMon, David Tomas Martinez, and Nafissa Thompson-Spires.
