Anthologies

What do K-Pop Demon Hunters, Star Wars, and The Hunger Games have in common? They all started as great ideas, that were turned into awesome stories, then into unbelievable movies. If you have a great movie idea, here's your chance to get busy writing it down. Make your story jump off the page and onto the screen!

We'll show you how to write a mini-script just like the professionals that includes scene headings, dialogue, transitions, and camera shots. You'll work with your fellow screenwriters to get and give suggestions as you all write the next summer blockbuster. Ideas for action, comedy, drama or anything in between are welcome! At the end of the session, you'll bring your film to life, acting it out with your classmates in front of an audience packed with your family and friends.

If you like fairies and monsters, epic battles and poisoned apples, there is no doubt you will LOVE Fairytales, Myths, and Fables. We're unraveling the stories we all know, learning about their origins, alt versions, and why they seem to have everlasting staying power in readers' minds.

We'll write our own original or adapted magical tales, add to spine-tingling myths, and put a new twist on fantastical fables. If you want to live happily ever after, this is the workshop for you!

Embark on a poetic journey where nature becomes our muse! Join our vibrant group of young poets as we venture out into upper Manhattan’s flourishing summer landscapes and find poetry in the world around us. As we write and read poetic verse we’ll discover what’s beneath every rock, leaf, and flower, open ourselves up to all of our senses, and use what we find around us to create drawings, fairy dwellings, pocket pals, and whatever calls our imaginations. Join the poetic adventurers for one week of local field trips in Washington Heights that will deepen your connection with nature and inspire journals filled with artistic creations! Enter the magical worlds waiting just around the corner.
