Six-Week WORDwarrior Writing Workshop (South Africa)

Date: 15 March 2011

A 6-week writing workshop to get you writing, exploring and expressing and seeing your world with new eyes. 90 minutes every Tuesday from 6pm to 7.30pm for 6 weeks at 6 SPin Street, Cape Town, starting March 15.

Classes are very small creating a safe space to express your true self. The course material is geared to help you see your world - and your life - as an extraordinary place - to see it more creatively, with fresh eyes - and then to transfer this new information into the written word.

It will include playing with, amongst others:

* poetry, free prose, blogging

* writing for self and writing for a reader,

* observation skills (all writers should know how to engage with people/environment so as to be able to write about different characters),

* using the senses to engage with the page,

* getting into character

* accessing the magical child

* memoir/self writing.

Workshop will include exercises in the class that will, amongst others, unlock hidden aspects within ourselves and allow us to access that creatively by writing. It will also include "seeing and writing" outside the class environment in which you will engage with your environment and people with 'new' eyes.

The course is R950 for the 6 weeks. Email or phone me for more details. Bookings close shortly.
