Please register in advance.\n\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n Origami for Peace with Kay Gering\n \n\nOrigami cranes became a symbol of peace after a young Japanese girl named Sadako Sasaki folded 1600 cranes hoping her wish for peace would be granted. We can wish for peace in Ukraine and throughout the world as we fold cranes of varying sizes and colors. Other origami forms will also be available for those who would like to try another shape. Class size is limited. Please register in advance. \n\n\n\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n Songful Games with Julie Lipson\n \n\nCome play songful games! For example\, we’ll play word-association\, but with songs instead! Can you think of all the songs you know that have the word “blue” in them? Fast-paced\, with elements of improv and teamwork– these games will make you laugh (and sing)!\n\n\n\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n Songlibs with Julie Lipson\n \n\n\n\n\nYou’ve heard of madlibs…well\, this is songlibs! We’ll create our own fill-in-the-blank songs based on popular songs we already know. Here’s an example songlib lyric: “Bye bye Miss American __noun__.” Silliness and creativity abound within a structured format! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n The Write Stuff with Beverly Pincus\n \n\n\n\n\nIn this class people will write a personal essay\, drawing from their own life experiences. The class will start with warm-up exercises designed to stimulate creativity and overcome writing blocks. A very structured feedback process will be explained\, which will only include positive feedback — what resonates with or moves the listener\, etc. This helps create a safe environment for people to read their writing out loud. The rest of the workshop will be participants writing to a series of prompts. Examples include write about a family dinner\, write about a secret\, write in the voice of one of your body parts. I will end the class with the creation of a group poem. Fun! Class size is limited. Please register in advance.
