November 21 @ 10:00 am – 6:00 pm
With Gina DeNoble
Places can be so inspiring! They engage the senses, hold memories both good and challenging, and allow us to orient ourselves within physical space. In this workshop, we will observe our surroundings, engage with the land, and consider how place affects us. Then, we will attempt to capture that in words and melody.
Please bring:
- Sack lunch
- Warm layers that will work for walking outdoors in November and also being cosy indoors (e.g., raincoat, fleece, boots, socks, gloves, hat, scarf, blanket)
- Any instruments you would like to use to write music
- Any special writing tools and notebooks you like to use
Included / available on site:
- Breakfast and light snacks throughout the day
- Refrigeration and microwave for lunches
- One guitar and one keyboard
- Basic paper and pens/pencils
Accessibility Note: This workshop takes place in an historic farmhouse that is not currently wheelchair accessible, as well as out on the landscape of a working farm. We will work to accommodate access however we can, but please email arts@pnfarm.com to confirm that the space will work for you before you commit to the workshop!
Full and partial scholarships available. Please email Abby for more information.
