Who are the SAS participants?
Participants in the Spoleto Writers’ Workshop tend to be serious adult writers. Ages have ranged from 20-86. Some writers have already published or completed writing degrees, but many are aspiring amateurs who show promise but have no formal background. Some are eager to learn new approaches or would like to write in a new genre. Most want inspirational time and teaching in a new setting, and time to work on their own. Singers in the Spoleto Vocal Arts Symposium range in age from students in the Pre-College section, extremely talented and mature young men and women ages 16-18, to students in college or conservatory, and many graduate students. Other participants are professionals looking to have concentrated time to work on a role or technique. See above for information about the Cooking School, Vocal Jazz, and Kids’ Camp participants.
