Between Love and Loss: GWN Songwriting Workshop
Start: 11:00 am
End: 4:15 pm
**Love and Loss**
2008-09 Girls Write Now Songwriting Workshop

Songwriting Workshop

Songs and poems have a lot in common. Both often revolve around rhythm and rhyme, and both frequently cover the universal themes of love and loss. In this workshop, mentors and mentees will explore how to turn these themes into songs that move the body and the spirit. Highlights:

  • Great icebreaker activities
  • Prompts to jump start individual writing and mentoring sessions
  • “Craft Talk: Songwriting” featuring punk rock singer, songwriter, guitarist Marianne Pillsbury
  • And, as always, a healthy lunch!

When: 11:00 AM – 4:15 PM
PLEASE NOTE THE CHANGE IN LOCATION!
Where: Skyline Recording Studios
36 West 37th Street
(Between 5th Ave & 6th Ave)
3rd Floor
