Description:

Have you ever wanted to write a song? Are you a songwriter seeking new techniques and inspiration? Join us for this fun, collaborative workshop where you'll learn how to write lyrics through games and improvisation and how to compose backing music—even if you know nothing about music theory.

Workshop leader Nivi Canela believes everyone has the power to create meaningful art. They have empowered people to share their stories via creativity workshops in Florida, New York, New Jersey, Louisiana, and online. Their debut EP, Our Lady of Abundancia, was partially produced at the Octavia Lab.

The Octavia Lab is a do-it-yourself maker space located inside the Los Angeles Public Library's historic Central Library.
