Spoken Word & Song
Spoken Word & Song includes spoken word and live music set to visual storytelling using video.
Rob and Kimberley incorporate Spoken Word & Song into their presentations and workshops that share their story of using the creative therapies of music, expressive writing, dance, and comedy to cope with victimization, trauma, and brain injury.
Together, their goal is to inspire and motivate anyone who has been a victim of trauma to take their power back.
