Brooklyn Gypsies and Brooklyn Poets presents:
YOUNG WRITERS FREE WORKSHOP: SHAKE ON THE BLOCK
July 6-August 19, Summer 2016, Monday & Wednesdays 330-530pm
YOUNG WRITERS: SHAKE ON THE BLOCK. This free seven-week workshop will help young writers shed the fear of Shakespeare and discover the magic, fun and some would say craziness of the immortal bard through playwriting, adaptation and performance. Students will work on breaking down Shakespeare’s legendary HAMLET, which they will then adapt for performance by adding street slang and modern English. Students will be introduced to the rudiments of the theater process and develop skills in acting, memorization, adaptation, staging and performance while using their imagination to create cool, dynamic new characters based on Shakespeare’s HAMLET. The workshop will culminate in a final performance at Spaceworks in Williamsburg that will be free and open to the public.
*Parents can fill out the info fields on the registration form but students should complete the open res-response, describing their background and interest in taking the workshop. We will admit students based on the merit of the Writing Background statement.

THE POETS' CORNER
FREE MONTHLY WORKSHOPS FOR TEENS AND YOUNG ADULTS!
Brooklyn Gypsies & The Brooklyn Public Library
Proudly Presents The Poets Corner is a free workshop for teens and young adults, at the Brooklyn Public Library: Williamsburg Branch, meant to empower students in writing creatively with different styles of poetry and structure, while nurturing a space for them to use as an outlet for documenting their own stories and emotions. Each student creates unique pieces at every class and is encouraged to participate in an open mic section to share their work. Poets Corner collects writings created at our monthly workshop to add to an annual anthology. Students also benefit from incentives such as Live Sports Game tickets provided by Brooklyn Gypsies. The Poets Corner is a series of monthly poetry workshops led by poet, actor, and arts educator, Modesto "Flako" Jimenez coordinated by Mariela Regalado, poet and college counselor.
