Event description

The Songwriters Roundtable is a deep dive into the art of the singer-songwriter. A warm and welcoming space to discover creative tools, and have fun with interactive activities and writing exercises that will inspire your songwriting. With lots of permission to play, we’ll delve into storytelling through description and observation, explore song structures and the magic of metaphor, understand point of view and rhyme; and much more...

Who should attend?
The Songwriters Roundtable is for adults and teens brand new to songwriting, seasoned songwriters feeling a little stuck or uninspired, and for all those wanting tools to improve their lyric writing.

What do I need to bring?
Bring a notebook, pen, and your instrument.

About the monthly gatherings
Each monthly meetup has a different focus from the world of lyric writing and emotive storytelling. Sessions will build on skills and principles from previous months, but you're totally welcome to drop into any session.

The April Roundtable is about laying down a foundation of observation skills and writing from the senses to evoke connection. Also known as “show, don’t tell”, learning how to write from the senses is a powerful practice you can apply immediately to your songwriting creating captivating worlds of sight, sound, taste, smell, physical sensation, and movement.

Mira Chorik is a songwriter who makes art. Her melancholy folk layers bitter-sweet poetry and warm-honey vocals to tell the unadorned story of the heart. She crafts live performance spaces that invite participation, emotional intimacy and audience connection. She’s also a facilitator with a bunch of experience: running workshops at retreats and community development conferences; facilitating meaningful conversations in Council settings through participatory artmaking; developing online and face-to-face courses; facilitating singing groups; yoga and meditation teaching, community theatre work; and facilitating small and large group processes (70+ people) at loads of retreats over a decade. She hosts the Sunshine Coast Songwriters Roundtable, now in its fifth year - a supportive space devoted to helping songwriters understand their unique voice and who they are as artists (rather than heady conversations of “right” and “wrong” and what makes a song “good” or “bad”).
