I am a PERFORMANCE POET/CREATIVE WRITING TUTOR from Nottingham. I'm very passionate about the arts and dedicated to getting poetry out there in the community whether in the form of workshops or performance. In addition to performing I teach in schools and colleges and also work for ACLS delivering courses to unique students who are categorized as having physical and learning difficulties. I love my job and love helping others tap into their creativity and express themselves too. I co-ordinate and compere THE ART CAFE, a monthly event comprising of music, spoken word, theatre and art.... see www.myspace.com/theartcafe. I've performed in a variety of venues from churches to Manchester United Football Club and even survived a lunch time gig in an ASDA superstore! “Louise is a natural comic. Timing abounds and a wicked sensibility keeps you on your toes. She is ‘0-60 in Six Verses’ and everyone of them will have you laughing out loud!” – Jason Bradbury, Channel 5 “Louise led workshops for Central Notts MIND Women’s Group. Louise’s effervescent and bubbly personality combined with her obvious passion and enthusiasm for poetry was passed onto the group and they were extremely well motivated. The class had never written any poetry prior to this. Therefore, the ladies were surprised and very delighted by their achievements. The workshops were interesting, fun and met all the intended objectives.” Pam Cooper – Central Notts MIND “Louise has the ability to empower young people to see themselves as poets and individuals. Through her humour, insightfulness and huge amounts of positive energy she helps young people become confident in expressing their own voice. Not only does this have a huge effect on an individual level but in such a short space of time Louise seems to create an atmosphere where speaking and listening to each other gets embraced and cherished by the whole class.” artizen ‘enhancing lives through creativity and digital technologies’ IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN A WORKSHOP OR PERFORMANCE PLEASE MESSAGE ME!
