Three Venezuelan Madrigals: Poetry and Creative Writing

Workshop in Spanish.

Join us for a unique bilingual workshop exploring the intersection of Venezuelan poetry, choral music, and creative writing. Through the lens of three beautiful Venezuelan madrigals, we will dive into metaphor, language, and poetic traditions in Spanish. This session is ideal for anyone curious about poetry—whether you're just beginning or looking to further develop your voice.

Participants will enjoy:
🎶 Listening to three Venezuelan choral works
📖 Learning about the authors and poetic techniques
📝 A guided creative activity—“Exquisite Corpse”—to compose a collective poem

This is more than a poetry class—it's a space for artistic exchange, aesthetic appreciation, and creative play.
