One Mic Project at Mohawk Correctional Facility
Facilitated by Chris Cresswell
The One Mic Project uses portable recording technology to transform any space into a recording studio and any person into a songwriter. Using teaching techniques developed over the past decade running songwriting and composition programs around the world, Chris Cresswell helps individuals and groups access their own inner creative selves, using self-expression as a tool for self-empowerment. Workshop participants learn and practice the basics of songwriting and music production, gaining the foundation to create their own lyrics and music. Introductions to songwriting and musical composition provide participants with the skills to experiment with both group and individual creative musical production. The workshop culminates with participants recording their original songs and performing them at concerts within the facility.
