    Monthly Workshops and Talks with Authors and Publishing Industry Professionals

    Using Your Senses in Writing
    Judith Lindbergh & Michelle Cameron

    Writing is more than just characters, dialogue, and action. A well-written story draws you in so deeply that you almost believe you're in the story yourself. To create such a rich narrative world, a writer must master the art of deep observation. One way to practice is through writing with all of your senses. 

    In this workshop, Judith and Michelle will share exercises that demand keen observation, isolating each of your five senses and maybe playing with your sixth. You'll use prompts to tap into memory, imagination, rhythm, sensation and more, opening a whole new compartment in the writers' toolbox that you may not have even known was there.

    Time: 7:30pm

    The Boston Pops Esplanade Orchestra – led by Conductor Keith Lockhart – returns for its annual holiday concert in NJPAC’s Prudential Hall on Sunday, December 4 at 7:30 pm.  The Orchestra will be joined by pop vocal group Rockapella for a rare foray outside the group’s traditional a cappella performances.     

    Tickets for the performance are $35 - $125 and may be purchased by telephone at 1-888-GO-NJPAC (1-888-466-5722), at the NJPAC Box Office at One Center Street in downtown Newark, or by visiting the NJPAC website at www.njpac.org.  Programming is made possible, in part, by Capital One, the New Jersey State Council on the Arts and Discover Jersey Arts.

    At NJPAC, Keith Lockhart leads the Boston Pops Esplanade Orchestra in a traditional holiday program, drawn from a repertoire of Christmas classics, Broadway show tunes and American standards. Lockhart and ensemble welcome Rockapella for the performance.  Rockapella member Scott Leonard, who helped create special arrangements for the concert for both Rockapella and the Pops, said of the performance “It’s a thrill to have that wall of sound coming from behind you. Besides it gave me a chance to satisfy my urge to arrange for new instruments and indulge my fascination for Glenn Miller-style Big Band arrangements that I loved growing up.”
