Make A Scene: Writing Workshop with Brenda Kahn (4 week)

TICKETS

Scenes are the building blocks of all stories. This four-week course focuses on the mechanics and emotions of writing vivid, impactful scenes that hook readers and drive your narrative forward. Through hands-on exercises and personalized feedback, you’ll learn techniques for creating tension, developing characters, and crafting dialogue that feels authentic. We will be using “Make a Scene” by Jordan Rosenfeld as our teaching text. (You are welcome to read in advance but not necessary). Open to all levels.

Instructor: Brenda Kahn
Brenda Kahn is a Boulder-based artist, celebrated for her poignant, lyric-driven music that blends personal narratives with broader social commentaries. She gained acclaim in the ’90s with her punk-folk music, leading to a deal with Columbia Records and praise for her album “Epiphany in Brooklyn.” She’s toured with musical greats Bob Dylan and Jeff Buckley and authored “Ode to Chores,” a humorous take on motherhood in verse. Her 2024 single “Alright OK” is available on YouTube and Spotify. Kahn’s memoir, set to explore the transformative power of music and writing against the backdrop of the East Village music scene in the ’90s, is forthcoming.
