The Queer Songwriter Circle is a small online workshop group for queer and trans people and allies. At each session participants share a song they're working on and receive feedback from the teacher and the group in a warm, supportive setting. We use a method inspired by Liz Lerman's Critical Response Process: We start by sharing what we love about each song, then explore what's working and what could be revised to make the song stronger, tailoring our feedback to the songwriter's questions and places they would like help. Everyone participates in this process, and the goal is for all of us to learn something from each song we look at.
It is recommended (but not required) that participants have taken at least one songwriting class with Eli prior to joining a circle. Sessions are limited to six participants so we can take a deep dive into each person's work and build an ongoing creative community. Most people play live in class so we can try out changes in real time, but you can also play a recording of your song. Every month there is an optional prompt to help get your writing started for next time.
