Looking Under The Hood Of The Writing Process
For the past several years Westbury Arts has presented Westbury’s Got Talent, an open-mic showcase that allows artists ranging from singers, poets, comedians, and performers of the spoken word to share with the community their gifts for communication in its various forms. Looking Under The Hood of The Writing Process, on June 29 from 2:00PM to 3:30PM, will ask, and answer, the process questions of “how,” “why,” and “what” these writers did to bring their ideas from their minds, through their fingers, and onto the page and stage. It will also give the audience a taste from the presenters’ finished products. The panelists for the program are Julie Lyon (President of the Board of Directors of Westbury Arts and a singer/songwriter); Alicia Evans (former Vice-President of the Board of Directors of Westbury Arts and an author of fiction and non-fiction works), Keith McNair (a member of the Poetry Society of New York whose topic areas include life’s celebrations and social issues); and Chuck Cutolo (a member of the Westbury Arts Board of Directors and a self-described poetic essayist.) Audience members will have the opportunity to ask questions as they themselves consider whether being part of what’s under the hood of the writing process is someplace they’d like to be, too.
Westbury Arts programs are made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the office of the governor and the New York State Legislature.
