SUMMARY:Dancing with Words
DESCRIPTION:It’s time to step away from your writing desk and dance! \nJoin us for a day of writing\, dancing and exploring how movement can be a part of\, and enhance\, your creativity. \nThroughout the day you’ll take part in a mixture of movement and writing exercises that will help you see how the joy\, freedom\, and vulnerability of dancing can be applied to writing. How do writing and movement intersect? What roles do they play in our lives? How can dance help us with our writing? \nBy the end of the day you will have:\n• had an opportunity to explore your creativity in a way you may not have done so before\n• experienced ways in which dance and movement might facilitate and enhance your writing practice\n• explored a variety of generative writing techniques leaving you with a bank of new material that you can continue to develop \nWriting can often be a solitary and cerebral exercise\, let’s see what happens when we come together and dance with words. \nPlease come prepared to move. Wear comfortable clothes and bring your writers notebook/journal (or whatever your access needs require). \nSaturday 25th October\n10.30-15.30 \nExeter Phoenix \nThymian Gadd is an interdisciplinary writer-artist from London. They are currently undertaking a masters in Creative and Life Writing at Goldsmiths University of London and working on their debut novel. Movement\, dance and drawing are particularly important to their practice. They love facilitating workshops where participants are encouraged to consider themes of the body\, memory\, movement and dance.
