Jump Start Your Writing Life
BARBARA SHOUP
This class will jump start your writing in ways that are both playful and challenging. Students will learn how writers get ideas, how they trick their minds into getting words on the page, and how they look objectively at their work.
Learn Italian through Music, Theater, and Conversation
GIOVANNI AMODEO
This workshop is designed for students interested in learning Italian language through an immersive and artistic approach. The course combines standard language instruction—grammar, conversation, pronunciation, listening and vocabulary—with creative and performative activities such as music, theatre, creative writing, poetry, and vocal expression.
Writing Fiction: Any Genre, No Genre
S.J. ROZAN
All fiction is woven from the same threads: character, setting, dialogue, plot, theme, pace. Genre fiction adds additional elements—crime stories lean heavily on plot, speculative fiction on setting.
Independent Program
SELF-GUIDED
This program is open to independent artists and writers who want to work on their own with access to faculty input. Available in both sessions.
