Ready to Join a Workshop?
Welcome to Zine Machine! We’re a self-publishing group of rebels spreading the word on things we think you should know. Obscure cat breeds? Survival tips for a zombie apocalypse? Favorite board games? All must-read zines.
In this workshop, we only have one rule: we’re all analog all the time. Think collage, hand-drawn images, markers, and glue. Once you lay out your first edition, we’ll use the time-honored way of mass-producing your Zine: the photocopier. Zines may sound like a simple idea, but they have started revolutions and educated the masses. Be loud, be crafty, and tell the world what it needs to know!
¿Quieres ser salvaje y romper con las limitaciones que siempre se están imponiendo? La poesía es la respuesta. ¡Nos ponemos los zapatos, cogemos nuestros bolígrafos y nos reunimos en el patio de la escuela P.S. 187 para embarcarnos en una aventura poética! La poesía es una forma de ver las cosas fuera de las cajas en las que siempre las meten. La naturaleza de Ft nos rejuvenecerá. Tryon Park y envalentonados por nuestro vecindario resiliente. Exploraremos los bosques lingüísticos que existen en el mundo y permitiremos que fluya una corriente de poesía desde el río de las posibilidades.
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.
