Room To Roam: Writing the Voice of the Body with Edwin Torres (via Zoom)
March 9 @ 12:30 pm - 4:30 pm
$150.00Where are we located in our writer’s world and is that alignment reflected in our work? Part of allowing the creative process its chance to amaze, is to encourage that trigger into amazement. Structured as a creative laboratory, this generative workshop will enrich our natural tri-lingual bodies, our speaking-seeing-hearing body, by bringing our creative capabilities into the writing process to replenish the languages inside us. We’ll integrate sensory awareness, eco-poetics and movement into our writing practice to find those points of connection, finite, porous, and possible.
NB: This class will be taught on Zoom and will be capped at 15 students. Registrants will receive the Zoom link to the email address they use to register. It will arrive immediately after registration so please check your spam folder if you do not receive it. It will also be sent the day before class as a reminder. Please review the course policies page before registering for any classes. Please email [email protected] with any questions.
