Workshops

"When listening to poets reading their poems, some read fast, as though running away from their own poem, others are full of pathos or disregarding punctuation marks or lines, ignoring their own musical score. But anyone who’s participated in Irit’s workshops (and I have had the pleasure of working together with her at Helicon Masterclasses for poets), is unlike any of the above, due to the conscious reading which Irit Sela has developed... in which she demonstrates on several poems how to take the poem apart from the moment it was conceived until it became a word, a sentence, a written poem, all the way through to reading it aloud, which is an overall psychophysical experience which includes the body, the voice, breathing, intonation, music and especially – talking to people."
