Writing Studio
In this experiential class participants will be provided with the opportunities to explore and develop their own writing practice. We will use an interdisciplinary approach where other art modalities (visual art, music, movement and drama) are used as a way to both generate and support the writing process.
The different art modalities will serve to:
• Gain new recourses for writing
• Refresh perspectives on familiar themes
• Deepen the exploration of metaphors and images
• Learn how to work with personal experiences
The class is run in a collaborative and supportive environment. Participants are encouraged to create together
and to present their work in a workshop style.
Suited for beginners as well as more experienced writers.
Background in arts not required.
