Shout It Out!!! Artist Workshop

The Teaching Artist Perspective

Each workshop is different at facilities like Park Youth Ranch and Freedom Place because there is a new group of clients at each facility on every visit. Initially the participants are hesitant to engage but after the ice breaker and some creative writing activities, everyone shares their thoughts and show a willingness to participate to some degree in their own way. There are always some talented individuals that want to take the lead and usually ends up playing a key role with song writing and music production. This then leads to a song that we put into a complete video music production that we share on Youtube.
