🔥 Ignite Your Voice. Share Your Story. Command the Stage.
Are you ready to step beyond your comfort zone? Spark to Speak is not just a performance poetry course—it’s a challenge. It will push you, stretch you, and ask more from you than you might expect. But if you're willing to show up fully, you'll walk away with a stronger voice, a wider range of performance styles, the confidence to own the stage and a family of fellow artists who inspire and support each other ,
Step into six transformative sessions with Nick Grivas, creator and host of Liquid Lyrics, where you pour fuel on the embers of your poetry—watching it leap from the page and ignite on stage. Let your words find their fire, your voice its power, and your presence its command.
What to Expect:
✨ Phase 1 – Writing the Spark (Sessions 1–3):
Find your fire and turn raw thoughts into refined poetry. Through guided exercises, you’ll explore rhythm, imagery, and emotional depth—learning how to make your words resonate, not just on the page but in the hearts of your audience.
✨ Phase 2 – Speaking the Spark (Sessions 4–6):
Words are only half the story—how you deliver them is what makes them unforgettable. You’ll learn how to use your voice, body, and presence to create a performance that feels authentic and alive. Expect to be pushed out of your comfort zone as you develop confidence, stage awareness, and the ability to truly connect with an audience.
Exclusive Perks:
🌟 2 Free Tickets to Liquid Lyrics – Experience a dynamic spoken word event filled with poetry, music, and connection.
🌟 1-Hour One-on-One Session with Nick – Get personalized coaching to refine your work, enhance your stage presence, or dive deeper into your creative process.
Finale Performance:
