Flow State: Experimental Creative Writing Workshop

Join playwright Ruby Holder on an immersive writing experience in our secret Victorian chapel. In this session you'll be led through a series of writing exercises with the addition of sound, film, props and other creative tools with the aim to kickstart creativity and generate early-stage material through the practice of 'free writing'. This workshop will have a particular focus on the London Docklands, the Thames Estuary and Essex & East End folklore.
