Mid-Winter Teen Artist Workshops

EMP's Teen Artist Workshops (TAW) are taught by professional teaching artists. Following a week of collaborative learning and hard work, workshops culminate with a live showcase (open to family and friends), and/or original work to take home.

Available to teens entering grades 8-12 this winter.

February 20 - 24 Teen Artist Workshops include:

• Rock Band: Spend mid-winter break as part of a killer rock band! Teens will rehearse cover songs, work with peers to create original works, and learn what it takes to be part of a successful band. Instructors will help expand musical repertoire, strengthen instrumental skills, and encourage the playing of new instruments. The workshop concludes with a live rock concert in JBL Theater.
  * At least six months experience with an instrument recommended for this workshop.

• Science Fiction and Fantasy Writing: What makes a good science fiction or fantasy story? Join comic book author Brandon Jerwa (Battlestar Galactica, Highlander, Stargate, G.I. Joe) on a quest for the answer in a week-long sci-fi/fantasy writing class that's guaranteed to be anything but boring. Brandon (and his surprise guests) will talk about spaceships, alien worlds, and mutated house pets but teens will also learn the secret story elements that keep readers coming back for more.

• Songwriting and Performance: Passionate about music and writing? Teens write and perform their own songs in a supportive, creative environment while they explore different styles of songwriting, and gain performance skills and language tools to write songs like their favorite musicians. Participants should be prepared to do some singing!
