(This is a full-day week-long class: Sun 07/21 through Sat 07/27)

You have your own voice, your own rhythm and tonality. You created it over the
years informed by the earliest sounds you heard, by your family, your ethnic group,
your economic class, your geographic location and where you go to school. You
may have a favorite uncle or singer whose voice you imitate. You may not even
know you do it.

During this week-long class you will begin to identify your own voice and help your
classmates identify theirs. You will also learn to write a scene with the help of an
exercise called image/moment.

By the end of the week you will have a first draft of a story, a poem, or an essay.
Each class will begin with a free write or writing to a prompt, or, reading from your
work in progress. You may source a photo, a piece of music, overheard dialogue.
To help discover (identify) your voice, I will invite you to listen to your favorite
music, to identify the rhythm and tonality and to mimic it in your writing.

Price: $1750 includes room and board
