This workshop is designed to inspire you to deepen your writing with emotional weight. By examining your response to a variety of visual and musical prompts including painting, sculpture, photography, short film, dance, and music video, we’ll learn to notice underlying emotion. Since everything we create is a representation of something larger, we’ll practice translating your feelings to the page so that they can live in your characters and resonate with readers. Participants will leave with fresh ideas for their memoir and fiction, and the confidence to move beyond surface-level writing.
