Words Empowered Laurier

Words Empowered Laurier The creative expression of our emotions and passions is meant to be showcased for the world to see. Let's do it powerfully, and together. W.E.

Students all struggle with the same things; the feeling of rejection, significance, the meaning of life, emotion, and more. However, no one likes to talk about these things, either because it makes them feel vulnerable, weak, pathetic, etc. Words Empowered Laurier is here to change that. Laurier is about helping students express themselves through the performance art of spoken word poetry. It is the belief of W.E. Laurier, that we should not shelter our differences, inequalities, beliefs, values, and emotions, but to broadcast them creatively, and powerfully. Together, we can come together in unity, and empower ourselves, our words, and the people around us through the creation of poetry. Not as a means to help only ourselves, but also those going through similar battles. Students battle in the same wars, but harbor different scars, creating different stories and opinions. We should not hide those scars out of fear, but present them in confidence, knowing that those scars have made them wiser. Why not share that wisdom?

General information

Words Empowered is prepared to start meetings in the Fall of 2015 on Laurier campus. As a performance art club, the first step in setting ourselves up for success, is making sure all students feel comfortable with each other. The topic of conversation should always been about something useful, not small talk, so that everyone learns something that the other is passionate, or confused about. Next, we try to use that person's passion or confusion to fuel a poem. To drive the student to go into depth of their problems or passions. The Who? What? When? Where? Why? How? allowing them to understand their emotions and put them into words for others to hear. Workshops by proven spoken word artists will also be used during club meetings to help with our techniques to better enhance our art.
