NGC Bocas Lit Fest & TUCO Songwriting Workshop

What do calypso and poetry have in common? Connect with calypso on Trinidad and Tobago’s 100 year anniversary of the first vocal calypso recording. Master of the calypso lyric and extempo performance Short Pants (Llewellyn Mac Intosh) will lead the way in a three-hour workshop to explore writing lyrics to tell our stories and to uncover the craft behind T&T’s winning Carnival songs. Songs, prose and poetry are all expressions of ideas and emotions. This workshop will explore various aspects of the lyric, demonstrating how it may be used effectively to help participants improve the quality of their lyrics. This workshop is ideal for poets, songwriters, journalists, students, calypsonians and members of the public who have creative interest in the written and spoken word.
