Vin jwenn nou sou entènèt pou Speak Up, yon pwogram ekriti kreyatif k ap sipòte devlopman atistik ak pwofesyonèl adolesan yo….

Nan sa a Gratis Nan yon mini-seri atelye ekriti kreyatif vityèl, adolesan yo pral fè ekip ak atis-edikatè ki gen eksperyans pou ranfòse pwosesis ekriti kreyatif la, soti nan redaksyon rive nan pèfòmans ak piblikasyon, pou ogmante alfabetizasyon epi bay jèn yo nan Miami plis fòs atravè aktivite ekriti ki baze nan kominote a.

Pwogram nan ouvè pou tout adolesan (ki gen laj 13-19 an) epi li gratis menm jan li pa gen devwa. Pa bezwen okenn eksperyans anvan!

Instructor: Vanessa Garcia
Theme: The Universe of the Stage

How do you connect stories on stage — your story with another’s?
How do you interview people in order to enrich BIG topics and bring those stories to life?
This is a workshop about making the past come to life! And connecting your story to another person’s so that story moves both on stage and inside people’s hearts. Catharsis, baby!
