Course Title
LYR 310 Creative Core Conditioning

Instructor
Sara Light

Course Description
Work your songwriting muscles! Feel the creative burn! Sweat out a song in one session! Here's your chance to put everything you have been learning into practice. Join Sara Light in this high-impact "real time" write. This is not a group write - everyone in the class will start and finish their own lyric or song. The session will be divided into a short creative transitioning exercise, a topic/assignment, a pre-write focusing period to find your best title and angle, and powering out your first draft by the time the class is over. This is a great way to condition yourself to write on-demand, to become a better collaborator by becoming a stronger writer, to break out of writer's block, and to push your creative boundaries.
