Still Waters Spoken Word Show: This high-energy showcase can be either an all-
school or multi-classroom assembly. We present nationally-accomplished spoken word
artists, local teen performers, a live deejay and, hopefully, the work of a few of your own
students. Invariably, the student body is surprised to find themselves being inspired and
entertained by … poetry! 7-12 grades. 45 minutes.

Still Waters Workshop Series: With SWC classroom workshops, the writing is actually
secondary. Rather, we utilize the mechanics of creative writing for building confidence,
bolstering esteem and encouraging creative problem solving. All workshops are
customized, interactive and grade-appropriate. The series is comprised of 2-6 sessions and
accommodates a rotation through no more than three classrooms per visit. Option to
conclude with a classroom performance or reading. K-12. Class period

Still Waters Between the Lines: Think of Bravo’s popular show “Inside the Actor’s
Studio,” and you’ve got Between the Lines. Part motivational presentation, part
performance, part Q&A, nationally-accomplished spoken word artists and writers visit SWC
school partners as part of their SE Wisconsin tour. This one-person presentation is best with
smaller, more intimate groups or single classrooms. 9-12 grades. Class period

Still Waters Teen Voices: Weekly, bi-weekly or monthly, Still Waters will help your
school and students launch an open mic or slam series. We will provide an experienced
slam poet and host, special guest performances and an opportunity to quality your
students for a national performance competition. 90 - 120 minutes

NEW! Teacher InService: More than poetry and fiction, let Still Waters staff
demonstrate ways to apply creative writing as a resource tool in developing individual
students, building classroom communities and exploring leadership potential. K-12. 2 hours.
