DarkFest Writing the Borders of Darkness

Each workshop will focus on the liminal –the slip of day into night. We'll walk attentively, and Jean will provide ideas and starting points for short writing exercises whilst we're outside on the hill. Come along for thoughts of night, of doorways and staircases under the stars, candlelight and night vision!

Works created during these sessions will be shared with musician and composer Mary Keith to inspire her creation of songs for public performance at DarkFest in November.
