Workshop: Anthems For Belonging For a New America

About the Workshop

Part songwriting workshop, part poem writing workshop, this workshop will analyze, deconstruct, and reconstruct an anthem. Any anthem! Starting with the Star Spangled Banner and building from there, participants will be invited to bring an anthem (regardless of national origin) or song that speaks to their values and notions of identity. By the end of the workshop, the group will collectively craft an “Anthem of Belonging” after creatively navigating a dialogue of complimentary and conflicting aspirations for our community. The workshop will include writing, singing, sharing, laughing, clapping, possibly even dancing, and a beginner-level discussion of music theory and the semiotics of music. No prior (musical) experience is needed!
