    Watch this clip

    You can try this. Say, 'here is a book of poems by a poet. What if we turned that book of poems into a show? We could use any poem or part of a poem, we could make up our own, we can use music, photography, costume.

    'Same goes for an anthology of poems around a theme. Let’s look at this theme. Can we make up some poems on this theme. Let’s make a show of some of the poems in the book mixing it with the poems we write.'
