The Workshop
As Jeanette Winterson puts it, 'Poetry is a finding place'. This workshop is curated not simply as means of pursuing writing as a profession but instead to find a writer within yourself, in a means of understanding the blessing and affliction of having a human heart.
By the end of the workshop an attendee will leave:
Understanding the basics of writing - the grammar, the music, the subtext that accompanies it
Honed their craft in a chosen field - the dynamics of writing poetry for the page, theatrics of writing poetry for the stage, the mystique of writing fiction and the compassion and collaboration required for writing for the screen
Understood writing as a confidant for traversing our conversations and aspirations with others while also creating a method to channel our tribulations with ourselves
Realising experiences as the core of writing - how adopting the big and small of our lives give us glimpses into universal truths
Understand reading as the first step to writing - how to read to not just know but also to become a more creative and empathetic person and employ this understanding of the human condition in your art.
