About this event

Arts • Literary Arts

We are running some poetry workshops!!

We say workshops loosely- it's more of a space to write, connect and share safely with a little bit of structure and some poetry pundits thrown in for good measure. The premise is simple- 3 evening workshops (1 a week) and 1 performance night. Whether you write regularly or not at all, practise, not perfection, is the destination here. But practise can be a scary concept when we only value picture perfect.

It can be easier when we practise with other people, when we share our stories. No one puts pen to paper for the first time and produces a masterpiece. In a world laser-focused on the final product, the importance of process can be forgotten. Life is all the parts in between.

For the performance evening/ sharing soiree, you can perform a piece or two to an audience and invite people you love to cheer you on. We'll be making a little book of the group's poetry to sell at the event and all proceeds from the Zine will go to Charity.
