What happens when we shift from one kind of life to another? What tales emerge from the contrasts between worlds?
Different identities lead to different perspectives. Narrative energy springs from transformation. Migration – physical, emotional, spiritual or conceptual – is rich territory for inspiration. In this all-new writing workshop, we’ll explore language, memory, perspective and place. There’ll be plenty of discussion, hands-on writing exercises and supportive critical feedback. Create stories that move.
Bring a pen and paper or a fully charged screen to join the writing exercises.
