Sounds & Furies presents:
WORDS & LYRICS: A Prose and Songwriting Retreat
with Kate Reid, Singer/Songwriter and Claire Robson, memoirist, editor, writer.
For writers, singers, those who want to be, and all others who love words! Every song has a story behind it; many stories can be put to music!
Friday, June 27- Sunday, June 29
UBC
Hang out for a whole weekend with a writer and a singer/songwriter and make
music, write lyrics, and share the experience with others, all with expert
advice, structured exercises, and tons of support. You’ll leave this
workshop with three brand new songs, poems, or stories, the tools you need
to revise and polish them, and a little experience in how to present them to
an audience. And we guarantee that you’ll have lots of fun along the
way.
Who Should come:
Writers, musicians, those who love words, stories, aspiring
and accomplished writers and singer/songwriters looking for more skills, a
new direction.
