Workshop Description:
“Sing a little. Dance a little. Draw a little. Play a little. Laugh a lot!”
That’s what you will do in this hands-on workshop. Together we will explore a multitude of ways to use the visual arts, music, dance and dramatics to spark our creativity, work our way out of writer’s block and other writerly problems, and discover new ways to look at our characters, our settings, and our plots.
Bring some paper, some drawing materials, and a scissors. No artistic talent required.
