Spaces Between: the Art of Songwriting


Join Northern song-writer Dana fora workshop that will help you take the song in your soul onto the stage! Dana draws her inspiration from the lakes of dreams and the spaces in between of Denendeh and beyond. She has called the North home for several years, graced many of its stages and represented the NWT in several capacities as a songwriter, including the 2007 True North Concert in Iqaluit. Most recently, she penned an ode to the Tuktoyaktuk Pingos for The CBC Great Canadian Songquest. Come spend an interactive evening with Dana and other Northerners, exploring the art of the written song, and learn some techniques and practices to help get your creative pen flowing. Bring a journal and an instrument (including but not limited to fingertips and tongue).
