A Neon Color Calls Me
A Neon Color Calls Me saw a successful third year in July of 2005. The annual creative writing and arts workshop for teachers, held at the Detroit Institute of Arts and the Detroit Opera House, offered 2 days of writing in the galleries at the museum, followed by a 3rd day of performance and practice at the Detroit Opera House.
Topics included "entering" and responding to visual art; using color, metaphor, persona, word-play, paradox, and form; finding and fine-tuning your voice; trusting the flow, and more. Participants worked to discover their own creative voice, found words to shape the magic of the artistic experience, shared the power of poetic language, and found ways to move from "page to stage." Look for this program to expand in 2006, with even more arts interactions and special guest writers.
