826LA@Hammer: Writing, Experimenting, and Remixing: Playful Exercises for Teen Creative Writers

Recommended for ages 8–14.

Reservations encouraged. Visit 826la.org or call 310-915-0200.

What makes a story sing? How do writers remix genres like fiction, poetry, hip hop, newspapers, and social media to create new, spontaneous work? How does rhythm and poetry feed our creative work? In this workshop, students will focus on play, experimentation, and joy in writing to answer some of these questions. Led by author and educator Ricco Siasoco.
