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

  • This is a past program

Free collaborative workshops, presented with 826LA, combine writing with creative activities for groups of up to 20 students.

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.
