In this lively one-day workshop, we will explore ways of writing in community. We will practice a variety of techniques, including paired and group collaborations, experiments, games, and improvisations that will enliven and invigorate your writing practice.
This is a multi-genre class, so a multitude of interdisciplinary prompts, music, visual art, and photography will be presented in a way that will inspire and generate new work. This class is perfect for writers who wish to expand their poetry and prose using inventive and collaborative methods.
