Creative Offerings

Krazee Kreativ – Begun in 2020 during the Pandemic, Krazee Kreativ initiative was created to share performances of her compositions, poems, and singing to a wider audience via videos.  Since then, it has become the vessel that contains all her creative ideas.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In 2023, Krazee Kreativ now encompasses CAMP KOOL KREATIV. The first of these camps is offered to rising 3rd through rising 5th graders, introducing resilience and fundamental coping skills to this population through Music, Mindfulness, Movement and Art. Many of these young students are already struggling with historical high rates of anxiety and depression across all socioeconomic strata, especially emerging from the Pandemic.

 

To highlight community, broaden perspectives, find commonalities and appreciate and respect perceived differences, this morning camp is offered for one week in two venues: Centenary United Methodist Church and a City Recreation Center.

 

Camp Kool Kreativ offers ‘INLETS’ – ways ‘in’ to access their inner resources and gain comfort and familiarity with their mind-body connection by boosting their brain-body bond via Alexander Technique, Qigong, Taiji, and movement in play; and ‘OUTLETS’ – ways to interact and relate with their outside world using their unique creative voice to compose songs through rhyme, rhythm, and dance; and through age-appropriate Art explorations. 

 

Further introduction to organ, jazz piano, conducting, African drumming and cross-cultural experiences in partnership with the city Recreation Center are balanced with time shared in nature at local gardens, parks and lakes.
