2012 Empowerment Workshops

Rock and roll camp isn’t just about the music, we also learn and create some really cool stuff. Below is a list of the Empowerment workshops you can choose from if you sign up for camp.

Note: not all workshops are available each year.

Music THEIRstory

Learn your roots! This workshop is a summary of women and men in music, focusing on empowering all artists regardless of gender or race. Participants will examine the marginalization of women and artists of color throughout music history and learn about influential artists that challenged the status quo.

Songwriting

This workshop focuses on the musical and lyrical art of collaborative songwriting, giving campers the tools they need to write and prepare songs for the showcase.

Recording

This workshop is great for campers interested in learning to record on their own. It will explore various techniques of the recording process while considering low budget and avant-garde techniques of capturing sound.

Music Photography

This workshop teaches campers how to photograph bands playing live as well as in the studio. The music photography workshop will explore the technical and artistic aspects of photography while providing students with a valuable skill.

DIY Arts and Crafts

In this do-it-yourself arts workshop, campers work on different craft projects each day. Previous projects include guitar straps, books, and gig bags.

Screenprinting

This workshop is great for kids who are interested in visual arts and design. The screenprinting workshop will provide campers with skills to create their own band t-shirts, fliers and patches.

Using Visual Art for Band Promotion

This workshop allows campers to explore various visual art mediums, with an emphasis on street art and graffiti styles, in order to use these tools to create band promotion materials such as t-shirt designs, posters, flyers, and stickers. There will also be a web component of this workshop, where campers will learn how to take their own designs and transform them into digital formats. It is the hope of this workshop to also allow campers to participate in a graffiti mural project.
