The Sonnet Man: Youth Writing & Performance Residency at CCA (Canceled)

In this 5-day series of workshops, students will break down works from William Shakespeare’s catalogue and transcribe a script into music and poetry. They will study the structure and make up of Shakespeare’s Elizabethan writing—its components, values, and meaning—as well as writing their own pieces. Students will also learn different literary devices that could be incorporated in their writings. Finally, their writings will be transcribed into hip-hop/poetry: a mini-musical. The workshop will conclude with original adaptations and develop a mini-project written and performed by the attendees. The residency will include 4 workshops each day, 9AM-12PM, for students ages 12-18. Hosted July 11th-15th, 2022.
