Performance Skills

Your voice is warmed up and ready, you're in the lights, you've got the mic, the room is waiting, hinged. Watcha gonna do? Your old party piece, or something dangerous? This workshop is a merciless adjudication of your performance skills, with thoughtful follow-up excercises and suggestions. This is a developmental workshop; you will not remain the same.

Songwriting

If a message is to reach people, it must be well delivered. Your song, the vehicle in which you deliver your message of choice, can be a tank, a truck, a canary, a heat-wave; it will become the vehicle you design and apply to the task of delivery. Think green, and come write a potential anthem to save us all.
