Spoken Word performances from Grade 10
The grade 10s took part in Shawnigan's second annual Showcase of Spoken Word Poetry on Thursday evening.
The spoken word genre invites students to perform poetry that has a focus on word play, rhythm, and storytelling.
The stimulating event was hosted by Cassie C. and Cassandra V., who were standout performers in last year's showcase.
The fourteen performances of original works moved the audience to tears, laughter, and a new appreciation of spoken word.
We acknowledge with respect the Coast Salish Peoples on whose traditional lands and waterways we live, learn and play.
