As part of the 2024 NEA Big Read of Circe, The Center for Fiction is partnering with the Onassis Foundation on two workshops for kids, ages 10–12, based on the award-winning adventure podcast Live From Mount Olympus. Here’s what’s in store:
11:00–12:30pm Acting Workshop: Cast members of Live from Mount Olympus, including Libby King, Sean Carvajal, and Nedra Marie Taylor, will lead a highly interactive session that will get kids on their feet and let them morph into their own mythical characters.
12:30–1:30pm: Lunch Break
1:30–2:15pm: Writing Workshop: Explore the art of bringing mythological characters to life and writing for the ear with Julie Burstein, the creator and showrunner of Live From Mount Olympus, and Nathan Yungerberg, head writer on the show.
