WWAB-FM: Our Own Radio Show

Live radio was what people listened to for entertainment before television. CREATING a radio show is a BLAST! It involves developing characters, dialogue and stories with sound effects. It’s composing jingles for advertising fun things. It’s music, poetry and journalism all in one! This is a great opportunity for you to develop a variety of skills in writing, public speaking and acting, and a fun way to use your imagination! Anyone who plays a musical instrument or loves to sing and is interested in writing, acting and comedy is encouraged to attend. On the last day, at 11 am, we will perform and tape our show before a live audience. Later, you’ll get a recording in the mail!

All the arts in Rochester can be your playground and inspiration! Writers & Books is along ArtWalk in the heart of Rochester’s Neighborhood of the Arts. We will visit the Memorial Art Gallery, Visual Studies Workshop, sculpture displays, George Eastman House and Gardens, Starry Nites Café, and individual artists’ studios and dance studios. We’ll try new approaches to opening our minds and hearts to the arts. Along the way, we’ll craft our personal responses to the way art affects and inspires us by creating our own photographs, collages, poems, and stories. Each participant will take away a collection of writing and artwork from this two-week exploration.
