Infuse: Writing in Conversation

Overview

Free creative writing workshop with Emma Batchelor.

This free three-hour workshop will give participants an insight into working creatively across disciplines, particularly developing writing in response to (or 'in conversation with') movement, visual and decorative art. Through discussion, observation, and practical exercises, participants will explore how different art forms can inspire the content, tone, rhythm, and energy of their writing, whether it be poetry, prose or for live performance.

This workshop is suitable for anyone interested in nurturing their creativity or developing their creative writing practice.
