<h2>Visual Writing</h2>From visual poetry to collage, diagrammatic work, scoring, asemic writing there is a long tradition of writing dedicated to its graphic and visual qualities. Through individual briefs and small group discussions, Caroline Bergvall will give participants the opportunity to practice writing visually and explore its graphic and spatial aspects. This can be used as an end in itself, a meditative connection with gestures of writing. Collaged use of image alongside text can deepen and widen the narratives explored. Sound and lines can be made to cohabit. Other processes can very usefully assist towards creating visual structures, sketches, mappings and/or scores for projects or research. Expect to:<blockquote>o	Trust your visual impulses</blockquote><blockquote>o	Get down and dirty with gestural lines, ink work, collages</blockquote><blockquote>o	Relax into the inner connections and sense of freedom of drawing writing</blockquote><blockquote>o	Spark new processes and ideas by using text, image, maps as one</blockquote><blockquote>o	Explore unfamiliar ways of drafting, sketching new texts </blockquote><blockquote>o	Join in small group discussions</blockquote><blockquote>o	See examples</blockquote><blockquote>This kind of practice can be usefully developed to inspire a longer piece of work or a project.</blockquote><h2>Caroline Bergvall </h2><blockquote>Caroline Bergvall has been practising as a writer, performer and facilitator for over 20 years.
