Past Event - Songwriting Masterclass with Liz Stringer
Event Success! - What happened?
On Thursday 11 December 8 young people joined storytelling superstar Liz Stringer to explore tips and tricks to enhance their writing - for song, theatre and creative masterpieces. The young people who attended said that after the workshop they "felt inspired to try writing some songs", "learnt brainstorming techniques to overcome writers block" and "loved listening to the songs others had written". We feel really privileged to be able to collaborate with local organisations, like The Old Stone Hall, to bring incredible opportunities like this to the young people of Indigo Shire. Thanks for sharing your time, energy and stories with us Liz Stringer!
In partnership with the Old Stone Hall, we’re thrilled to host Liz Stringer, one of Australia’s most powerful and lyrically insightful songwriters at Old Stone Hall for a special free Songwriting Masterclass for young people living in the Indigo Shire region.
Currently based in the UK and touring internationally, Liz is returning home for a sold-out Australian tour, and we’ve convinced her to come to Beechworth a day earlier before her sold-out Beechworth show, to share her craft with creatives from Indigo shire.
This inspiring masterclass invites emerging songwriters, poets, and storytellers to explore their voice and develop confidence in their creative process. Liz will share insights from her journey as an artist, perform a song or two, and guide participants through writing activities designed to spark ideas and authentic expression.
