Writing course synopsis:
The stories we have to tell are sometimes our own, or those of our generation, our family, our culture, or our secrets. How do we write our stories into the world?
How do we find the stories that we want to tell, or need to tell? Finding the inner voice as a writer is what we will find in this 5 day workshop, appropriate for all ages, for writers that want to seek their space and writing voice.
Themes that will be considered include - identity, our space in the surrounding world, engaging the senses, observing the space around us, becoming in tune (or out of tune) with our physical being, and how to nourish our artistic spirits, and finding our inspirations to write.
The combination of writing exercises, group discussion, examining short texts and / or excerpts from films, music and the use of props (from the teacher and/or students) will help the writing process, and shape our writing voices together.
This course is interactive, multilingual, will employ safe space practices.
