Would you like to use your digital platform to showcase your work in a new way and expand your audience?  \nIn this 6-week course\, we will use simple\, open-genre writing prompts to generate short poems and/or impactful prose. We will polish our short pieces and explore gathering images that will visually accentuate our words. We will then create short literary videos that include an audio recording of the work\, captions\, and either moving or still images. Our entire project will be built and edited using a FREE video editing app available for phones and laptops! \nThis course is open to writers of all genres and skill levels\, 18+. Students are welcome to bring in previously written work or images they want to transform. \nIn this course\, students will leave with: \n\nAt least one drafted 1-minute poetry/prose video.\nSeveral short written pieces that can be used for future videos.\nTools and knowledge to continue the Literary Video process independently.\nAn additional way to connect audiences to your writing that isn’t publication or a public reading.\n\nJoyous Windrider Jiménez is an improv & performance poet\, teatrista\, mixed-media visual artist and video creator who blends performance and visual elements. During the pandemic\, she directed and edited a video adaptation of an original operetta for the Jump-Start Performance Co’s INKubator series\, and had her time-lapse video poem Quarantine is a Dragon screened at the Roxie Theater’s 2020 virtual summer film festival\, Mixtape-In-Place. She also moved into video lessons for children in quarantine for the San Antonio Museum of Art\, Gemini Ink\, and SAISD. In 2022 and 2023 her video poetry was streamed for Urban 15’s annual global poetry streaming event\, MegaCorazon. \n\nParking at Gemini Ink \nGemini Ink offers free parking along the back wall of our downtown offices.
