"What makes someone family? How do you connect with those you love? How do we care for ourselves, our relationships, and the planet?

In this workshop, we'll be exploring who, what, and how we love and express care. Through writing and performing spoken word poetry, students will define for themselves what community, family, and connection mean, and don't mean, to them. Whatever the word "love" makes you feel or think of — curiosity or fear or apathy, friends or romance or the ocean — this workshop is for you. Writers and performers of every experience level are welcome.

Students ages 10-18 who register before 2/23 are eligible for a $400 stipend upon the completion of any course."
