Although the sessions will be loose in structure and shaped by the ideas that we come up with, each workshop will focus on a particular aspect of storytelling (structure, dialogue, adaptation etc) and introduce new exercises to explore these themes. A typical workshop might involve:
A group mindfulness exercise followed by flow-writing (time to write whatever comes into your mind in the moment)
Engaging in communal forms of storytelling and world-building through collaborative games
Writing in response to prompts (these may be language based but they might also take the form of a song, a painting, a dream, or anything else that we might choose)
Reading our own work, or reading the work of others
Learning to give and receive supportive feedback when developing a piece of writing
