Workshop: Writing a Crow

Rebecca Beinart

Join us for a series of creative writing workshops to explore Crow Park from multiple points of view.

Creative writing workshop with Rebecca Beinart and Wallace HeimJoin us for a series of creative writing workshops to explore the local landscape from multiple points of view. These sessions are open to anyone who knows Crow Park, the Isthmus and Derwentwater, and no previous writing experience is necessary. The workshops will open up space to explore and reflect on our relationship with familiar landscapes and with the future, through imagination and story making. We’ll use a series of creative exercises to play with words and explore different viewpoints, including other-than-human perspectives and non-linear time. You’ll create your own short pieces of writing in each session.You can sign up for all three sessions or just attend one.We encourage you to visit Crow Park before the online workshops if possible. In each session we’ll invite you to bring something along as a starting point – please read the workshop descriptions for more details. There’s no pressure to share anything that you write, but we’ll talk about what comes up from each session.Session 3: Writing a CrowThis workshop will take you from writing about characteristics of the landscape, relations with other entities (such as weather or other living beings) through to connections with the future; and distil those ideas into a ‘Crow’. The Crow is an invented form of writing that references conjuring and spells as a way of paying attention.
