Writing and Film-Making Workshop

10.30 - 11.30am Keeper of the Light Writing Workshop with spoken word artist TriggerBliss

Join TriggerBliss and become a Keeper of the Light in this immersive creative writing workshop. You will have the opportunity to co-design a Harwich lighthouse, complemented by your stories of what coastal communities mean to you and our visions for our collective futures. Showcase your designs and highlight your voices by joining our artist led Keeper of the Light community walk around Harwich at 1.30pm.

11.30am - 12.30pm A Day in the Life of Harwich: Storyboarding the Past, Present & Future, led by filmmaker Marley Karazimba

How do filmmakers turn ideas into visual stories? In this hands-on workshop, we’ll explore Harwich’s rich history and its future challenges (like rising sea levels) through storyboarding—the art of sketching scenes like a movie. No experience needed! Using comic strips and simple drawings, you’ll create your own "Day in the Life" of Harwich across time, learning filmmaking techniques along the way.

Two Workshops in One! These workshops will lead into each other so registration is to take part in both workshops.

Part of Celebrating Collecting Dreams, Shifting Futures - a community celebration of Harwich's fascinating heritage and coastline, which forms part of the inspirational nationwide Beach of Dreams project.
