Sunday, December 27, 2020 Dance Challenge Writing (Youth) Timelines: 3b: Past Workshops (Unseen Archive), 4: Dana Venerable Workshops & Events
In this workshop, we will investigate the process of viral dances and dance challenges and its similarities to creative writing. Starting with examples from line dances, YouTube, and TikTok, we’ll move through our relationships with virtual social media and creative expression during a time when we’re working, socializing and finding joy online. We will dance and write in front of our screens, thinking about how these actions work together in being physical and textual engagements, and what we can design from them. All writers are welcome.
