Playlist Writing with Dana Venerable (Hybrid)
This workshop explores the relationships we have to our favorite music as well as to the art form of making playlists. Writers will make their own playlists of up to 5 favorite tracks using Spotify or YouTube. While listening, they will observe what resonates about their curation and order of favorite songs—instrumentation / sounds, lyrics, memories, messages / symbols, plot, themes, etc.—and let their thoughts wander through writing lines. For example, writers can work from one lyric line and imagine a short story or write about its influence within their daily life. Writers are encouraged to use the duration of the playlist to free write as much as what comes to mind as possible.
This workshop is FREE, aimed at young students aged 12–18, and limited to 10 in-person participants with the option to join virtually.
