Body of Writing Body of Writing adds an additional dimension to the traditional mind body spirit practice of yoga: story. In this workshop we begin with the premise that our bodies hold our stories, that we write from the body. Using a combination of inspirational writing exercises and prompts, yoga postures, meditation, and visualization techniques designed to support participants, we deepen creativity and access the stories we carry. We use calming breathing techniques as we move deeper into our creative process and meet artistic challenges, ensuring that participants leave class feeling stimulated yet relaxed. In Body of Writing we explore our writing and our bodies, and receive the benefits of strengthening the connection between the two. All levels. Previous experience with creative writing or yoga is not necessary. Individual and group sessions available. |
Songwriting Why study Songwriting? Songwriting is a means for self-expression. It's a cross-curricular connector that will appeal to all students, while strengthening social emotional learning. Songwriting is a great addition to the study of English and/or Literature. Writing songs is an enriching experience that goes hand in hand with poetry. Songwriting is another way to study structure, and is similar to the structures we find in literature and essay writing. Songwriting is a wonderful alternative way to tell a story. All levels. Previous musical experience is not necessary. Individual and group sessions available. |
