Program Description
Event Details
For this special event from Like Really Creative, attendees will come together to create a collaborative community poem.
The program will be hosted by musician and yoga instructor Marcella Simien, daughter of Grammy Award–winning artist Terrance Simien. Participants will begin with a guided meditation that explores and plays with different sounds.
They will then write poetry, lyrics, associations, or reflections inspired by what they hear. Afterwards, the group will share their writing and weave it together into a single collaborative community poem.
Memphis artist Zack Orsborn founded the arts organization Like Really Creative in February 2025, cultivating a growing creative community that has attracted nearly 7,000 social media followers. The organization has hosted up to 100 participants at its popular monthly collage parties, along with events focused on junk journaling, community walks, artist speed-dating for creative partnerships, collective improv music jams, and more.
