Workshops

 
 

With masters and doctoral degrees in education, Dr. Jenoure brings an unusual approach to her service as a teacher, workshop leader and consultant. For 20 years, she taught graduate level courses at colleges and universities preparing K-12 teachers to use the arts in their classrooms. Over a ten-year period as a consultant to agencies in Colombia, India, and South Africa, she trained social workers in the use of the arts for conflict resolution.


 
 
 

Fables for a New World

Play!

 
 

Fables teach about wisdom and folly. Through writing, visual images, sound, and movement, our collective artmaking will build new and original fables to guide us in the days ahead.. No prior experience in the arts is required.

Experiment with keystone principles of creativity and apply them to your daily life. Through sound, found and constructed objects, images, and words, we play freely with some essential principles that all jazz musicians know.

 
 

Opening The Voice

Join a collective music-making journey and apply improvisation and extended techniques for more imaginative vocalizing and for the simple joy of singing together.

 

Write For Your Life

Begin a memoir or explore your stories through creative non-fiction in a safe, encouraging atmosphere.

Sound For Change Ensemble

Build instrumental compositions that advocate for needed social change through the use of unconventional and personalized notation systems.

Mix-It-Up

Make your own instrument from found objects and use them for any number of projects.

 
 
I know immediately, as soon as I walk in front of a group what they need from me. It’s hard work meeting that demand, and I love that challenge.

I teach the same way I make performances: I start with big ideas and fill in the small spaces compulsively and intuitively until that big idea has completely changed shape.
