SUMMARY:Sleeping Beauty | State Ballet of Ukraine
DESCRIPTION:The evil fairy Carabosse curses Princess Aurora for 100 years of sleep with a single-finger prick on her 16th birthday. Doomed by fate\, only a sweet kiss from the prince can break the spell and wake up the sleeping beauty. A fascinating tale comes to life in the exquisite production\, “a master class in classical style” (The Guardian)\, with “some of the most delightful steps in the 19th-century repertoire”. This superb classical production features Tchaikovsky’s delightful music\, visually stunning with lavish sets and elaborate costumes.

DESCRIPTION:Four award-winning novelists–Mindy Friddle\, Rebecca T. Godwin\, J.C. Sasser\, and Michel Stone–will share their instructive insights on how to cultivate resilience\, stoke your creativity\, and find success as a writer. \nWriting anything—be it a short story\, a poem\, or a novel—takes courage\, and self-doubt is a natural part of that process. In the early stages you may feel daunted by the blank page\, or mid-way through\, find yourself discouraged. Even success can cause you to stumble. Perhaps you are struggling with finding ways to do meaningful creative work while also earning a living\, raising a family\, or after retiring. No matter what phase of writing you’re in\, you can create and finish any project through a consistent writing practice that brings you joy. In this workshop\, four authors share how they’ve learned to build sustainable writing practices through daily rituals\, goal setting\, and inspiration from each other. Whether you’re writing\, or just considering it\, this workshop will give you the tools to create a powerful writing routine that will keep you motivated\, productive\, and primed for success. \nIn this workshop\, you will learn: \n• How to build rituals and routines that preserve your willpower and nurture your creative energy and enthusiasm \n• How to avoid distraction and procrastination and discover best practices for using social media \n• How to find or start your own writing group \n• Why keeping a notebook\, a “playground for the mind\,” is vital to your project \n• How to set goals and grand gestures that cultivate resiliency and lead to success \n• How to use recommended tools for creating and submitting your writing for publishing \nAfterwards\, you’ll have a better picture of how to use your time\, focus\, and energy to do your best work through your writing practice. \nThis interactive writers workshop will be held as an in-person class at the Pat Conroy Literary Center (601 Bladen St.\, Beaufort) on January 21\, 2:00 to 4:00 p.m..
