Encore University’s expansive Masterclass series continues with our third class: a wonderful deep dive into the topic of poetry and the creative process. Zeina Azzam, the current Poet Laureate of the City of Alexandria, Virginia, will bring her expertise and poetic verve to the Zoom classroom for a presentation on the creative process!
If you’ve ever wondered about the process that goes into writing and sharing poetry, creative writing, or (yes!) lyrics set to choral music, Zeina Azzam will bring her expertise and demystify the writing process! In this 90-minute expert class on the telling of tales and the process behind presentation, you’ll get a first-hand look at the ways that experts express themselves – and how you can start sharing your creativity with the world.
This informative session will end with a live Q&A session, where Zeina will answer any questions you may have.
| DATE AND TIME | Wednesday, March 29, 7:30 PM ET – 9:00 PM ET |
| PRICE | $15 per person |
Can’t make it to the Zoom? Encore University’s flexibility extends to our Masterclass series, too! A recorded version of the presentation will be sent to all registered participants for later viewing.
