WORKSHOPS

Writing the Blues

Sunday June 8, 10am to 2pm
Hazeltine Gallery, 208 N Marina St, Prescott, AZ

Writing your own original blues song using critical self-reflexive practices and shamanic journeying. Taught by Laurelann Porter
​
Early Bird $50 (until May 20)
Regular Admission $65
Writing the Blues workshop is a workshop rooted in the deep reflexive practices of critical autoethnography.  It begins with activities to tap innate potentials in shamanic artistry (being a channel for artistic expression from subconscious and/or higher consciousness). We move through dialoguing practices to cultivate multiple perspectives from our life experiences.  We pose probing questions to understand how the structures we inhabit either empower or disempower us. We stimulate our imaginative co-creative capabilities. We finish with a simple user-friendly approach to songwriting using preset blues song lyric models and standard blues progressions.

TCB CURATES SERIES 2025

The Carpetbag Brigade (TCB) Curates presents professional performers presenting solos about social issues at the Hazeltine Theater in Prescott throughout 2025. Each show is followed by a panel discussion supported by the Arizona Humanities Foundation and an interactive workshop for the community. These events are designed to spark reflection, foster dialogue, and create meaningful connections.
After each performance, a panel discussion brings the artist together with experts and community voices to dive deeper into the themes presented. Each visiting artist will also host a workshop, giving the Prescott community a chance to learn and engage directly with their creative process.
TCB Curates is part of Carpetbag Brigade's mission to make the Hazeltine Theater a hub for powerful performances and meaningful community experiences. Don’t miss these opportunities to experience original, thought-provoking work and join the conversation!
