A full list of sessions and descriptions are below.

The Poetic Art of Persona - In this collaborative workshop, students will examine selected persona poems from a range of authors and perspectives before engaging in a generative activity to write poems in up to three different voices, examining the universal and the unique in each. Students will have the opportunity to share their work at the end of the session.

Nonfiction Story Workshop - Almost everyone can get something out of a creative writing workshop, but composing a totally original story can feel intimidating. In this nonfiction workshop, we'll use experiences from our real lives to create complete "micro-nonfiction" stories of under 500 words.

Lemonade Drumline: Found Instrument Ensemble - Students will work on musician skills of rehearsal technique and sight-reading, and focus on musical elements of rhythm, tempo, and volume by learning a short custom written found instrument work.

What's my role in this Mess? - When looking at challenges we often are quick to identify who is to blame and point our fingers at them. BUT we only have control of our selves so in this workshop we are going to look at how to be aware of our role in challenging situations and develop strategies on how to improve our presence.

Conducting 101 - In this session students will learn tips on how to read a basic score and the fundamentals of standing up in front of an ensemble and conducting them. Ability to read music is recommended.

Talking & Fighting - This will be an introduction to physical dialogue. A combination of Acting, Stage Combat, and Vocal Technique for the stage.

Basic Lighting Programming (technical theatre) - Learn the basics of programming lighting with ETC Family software. Participants will learn how to manipulate lights in a virtual environment, create: groups, presets, and pallets, use effects, record cues, and create a light show.

Monoprinting - Students will be introduced to and get to experience the printmaking process from start to finish by making monoprints! Monoprinting is a printmaking process that creates images that are only printed once, unlike most printmaking, which allows for multiple/unique originals. Students will use plexi-glass plates, printing ink, and other tools to create their own unique artworks.

Vocal - Vocal Workshop says singing is more than one thing!  It will feature breathing exercises, vocal warmups, a listening example, and learning a short new work featuring rhythm, singing, piano, and additional sounds.

Just Dance - In this workshop participants will work on level five technique including stationary leaps and pirouettes as well as a short jazz routine.
