Spoken Voices with FLOET: Nature
Unleash your voice through the transformative power of spoken word poetry.
In the “Nature” workshop, FLOET will share some inspirational poets and performances related to love, you’ll have some time to write on your own, and then the group will share what they created.
The Saginaw Spoken Voices Poetry Project includes creative workshops, revision support, and performance guidance. Whether you’re a seasoned performer or just starting out, there’s a place for you in the Spoken Voices community. A complete list of SPOKEN VOICES workshops and events can be found here.
Spoken Voices Events are free, but registration is required. Participants must be 18 or accompanied by an adult.
ABOUT FLOET: The project will be led by Charles “Floet” Townsel, better known as Floet, a nationally known Saginaw poet. Floet has been writing and performing spoken word poetry since 2007 as a member of a poetry group known as the YEP Organization, which first thrust him into the public eye. As a child, he wanted to be a “rapper” but chose the path of poet or spoken word artist because of his love of words, the effect they have, and their meanings. Floet has also appeared in many poetry slams around the country, such as Rustbelt Regional Poetry in Columbus Ohio and in Madison Wisconsin; The Apache Café in Atlanta, Georgia, and many others. He runs Daisybern Productions and is working on podcasts, publications, and a musical spoken word project.
The project is funded by an SVSU Foundation Community Engagement grant.
