Midwest Poetics Writing Workshop: Hadiza. + Jade Green

Posted November 7, 2022

Monday, November 28, 2022 from 6:00-8:00 PM

Join us for upcoming Midwest Poetics writing workshop where artists will share songwriting techniques with a peer group led by Hadiza. and Jade Green.

This workshop will intentionally avoid genre distinctions and maintain focus on exploring the contents of a lyric located inside a song. Hadiza. will give participants a peek under the hood of her own songwriting process to offer another perspective and approach for participants to use for their own writing processes.

Jade Green will lead the workshop segment, LEANING INTO IT: Music aka Time as Ritual. This portion of the workshop will cover two or more songwriting techniques – active and passive – and tips and tricks to help you fight for what you write.

ABOUT MIDWEST POETICS

Midwest Poetics is an opportunity for artists to make space, celebrate and connect with the many voices that make the music and performance scenes that thrive in the Midwest. We want to give the mic to Black, and Indigenous vocalists, poets, writers, musicians and performers of color to celebrate their craft. Midwest Poetics is a space for us all where we will, both workshop new material in a peer-to-peer setting. Workshops will lead up to a quarterly showcase where artists will be encouraged to share what they’ve workshopped!
