Workshop With EPFC International

Join Cadence Video Poetry for one of our favorite monthly clubs! In this workshop for poets and filmmakers, the natural wonders of the season are inspiration to write and share haikus and then turn them into experimental short films. We start with a viewing of video haikus made by participants using the previous month’s prompt, and then speed write haikus using a new prompt for the month to inspire the next creation. If you’d like to share work, bring a short video haiku—whatever that means to you, anything goes—not required to participate!

“A Japanese verse form most often composed, in English versions, of three unrhymed lines of five, seven, and five syllables. A haiku often features an image, or a pair of images, meant to depict the essence of a specific moment in time.”—Poetry Foundation
