When: May 30th 15.00-16.30 (doors open 14.30)
Where: NIO House Amsterdam
Body Poetry is a creative workshop exploring the connection between body, emotions and expression through writing. Together, we will slow down, listen inward, and use guided prompts, movement, reflection, and poetry exercises to reconnect with the stories our bodies carry.
This is not about “perfect” writing or performance - it’s about presence, honesty, sensation, and allowing words to emerge naturally from experience. The workshop offers a gentle and supportive space to explore authenticity, vulnerability, creativity, and self-expression in a grounded and embodied way.
No previous writing experience is needed - only curiosity and a willingness to explore.

What do we do?
We are a community and a platform.
We host spoken word poetry events. We also print a publication Word Up Pages.
Our Word Up Podcast features interviews with artists from around the world.
We participate in international partnerships (trainings, seminars, showcases, etc.) with likeminded organizations and communities.
While Word Up is based in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, all of our content is presented in English.
This helps our international community of artists to connect, create, learn, and grow together.
