Songwriting Workshop with Calista Kazuko

Songwriting Workshop with Calista Kazuko

Explore your inner artist and celebrate your unique voice with this special Songwriting Camp at Colet House with renowned singer/songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and theatre composer Calista Kazuko Georget.

We will start by looking at some ‘rules’ of songwriting (remember, we have to learn the rules to break them!) Then working individually and as part of a larger group allows for wonderful collaborations and creative expansion. The session closes with a sharing of the various songs written during the camp.

Artistic expression, especially in a group setting, is a beautifully uplifting experience and songwriting in particular offers wonderful gifts in creativity, self-discovery, reflection, acceptance, analysis and dreaming. And what better environment to enjoy these gifts than within the magic of Colet House, amongst fellow like-minded dream catchers!

This course is open to all ages and levels of experience - no prior songwriting experience required. We will work with every participant individually to facilitate their best methods of writing and sharing, with no pressure to perform your own songs.
