The Evergreen Singers is a continuing choral ensemble of The Evergreen State College community. No auditions are required. We will learn the basics of good voice production, and rehearse and perform songs from a range of musical idioms. Members of the Evergreen Singers need to be able to carry a tune, learn their parts, and sing their parts with their section. This class requires excellent attendance and basic musicianship skills.

In this course we will test our understanding of what "creative writing" is, both by working on our own creative manuscripts and by collaborating on the central question: what do we imagine an alternative writing community at Evergreen to look like? We will examine each other's sense of the function (or lack of function) of poetry and prose, share and critique each other's work in small groups, experiment with various literary forms, and test these experiments further by sampling the work of other writers and theorists. Courses which complement this one will be offered in the winter and spring quarters.
