Garry Novikoff
[PRESENTING: Songs of Innocence, Songs of experience (A Songwriting Workshop)] –
Do you know that you’re a songwriter? You are! In case you are not sure, this workshop will prove it to you. As a multi award-winning songwriter and a TONY-nominated musical theater educator I find joy in creating an atmosphere of expansion conducive to songwriting. We will start by writing one or two warm-up songs. Then we will spend our time writing a tune on the retreat’s theme – Greek gods! Who knows where this theme will take us? Our song my make it all the way to Olympus!
Garry will also be performing a collection of songs called Alien Encounters. These are songs about coming face to face with various other-worldy beings from extra-terrestrials to gods to sexy male wood nymphs!
