DURING THE RESIDENCY, SS TEACHING ARTISTS LEAD PARTICIPANTS IN LYRIC AND MELODY WRITING TO CREATE AN ORIGINAL SONG WRITTEN BY THE RESIDENTS OF DWC. ADDITIONALLY, PARTICIPANTS DISCUSS WHAT INSPIRES THEM AND CURATE A CONCERT OF MUSIC BASED ON THEMES OF THEIR CHOICE. AFTER SIX WEEKS OF SONGWRITING WORKSHOPS AND TWO WEEKS OF COMBINED REHEARSALS, AN ALL-FEMALE MUSICAL ENSEMBLE FROM STREET SYMPHONY PRESENTS A CUMULATIVE CONCERT, FOCUSING ON MUSIC BY WOMEN COMPOSERS. THE PERFORMANCE WILL BE CAPPED BY THE SONGWRITERS AT DWC PERFORMING THEIR ORIGINAL SONG. MIDNIGHT STRINGS IS AN 8 TO 12-WEEK GUITAR AND SONGWRITING WORKSHOP AT THE MIDNIGHT MISSION. THERE ARE SPRING AND FALL WORKSHOPS. THE TEACHING ARTISTS WORK WITH COMMUNITY MEMBERS FROM THE 12-STEP PROGRAM (HOMELESS, INCARCERATED, AND ADDICTION RECOVERY PROGRAMS) TO LEARN THE BASICS OF GUITAR, SONGWRITING, AND PERFORMANCE. THROUGHOUT THE WEEKS, INDIVIDUALS BEGIN TO SHARE THEIR STORIES, FEELINGS, AND EXPERIENCES RESULTING IN AN ORIGINAL SONG.
