Poetry Circle offers them the chance to meet up and learn with one another.   <\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Poetry Circle grew up under the wings of production house Nowhere. It offers fledgling storytellers, poets, writers and songwriters the opportunity to develop their own voice and style. They are given workshops, a personal coach and attend classes by inspiring guest teachers. In addition, there are low-key stage production evenings across nine major cities. Their productions may take many forms &#8211; think of an intimate one-woman show, large group performances or spoken-word city walks.      <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Overcoming obstacles<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There\u2019s a specific track for the more experiences makers: Full Circle. Here, six makers are given the opportunity to explore their authorship in more depth and to develop their subject matter together. It doesn\u2019t just centre around their personal writing projects. But they also focus on their profession and the challenges involved, such as overcoming creative and financial obstacles along the way. The process ends with a performance or pitch during the Poetry Circle Manifestation. Venue programmers, publishers and potential funders are also invited to this event.     <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"642\" src=\"https:\/\/dioraphte.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/PK-PoetryCircle-2-1024x642.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5616\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dioraphte.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/PK-PoetryCircle-2-1024x642.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dioraphte.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/PK-PoetryCircle-2-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dioraphte.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/PK-PoetryCircle-2-768x482.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dioraphte.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/PK-PoetryCircle-2.jpg 1315w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Growing network<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The network around the spoken word is growing steadily with Poetry Circle.
