Song Writing: The Mask I Wear

What 2 sessions can do…

The Mask I Wear was written by Abby and the students of the Open Door Arts Camp in August 2011. Using a story about a woman driven from her village because she was different, children explored the theme of hidden emotions through a variety of drama and music strategies. This demo was recorded live in the ODAC space.
