Creative Writing Practice and Process with Writer: Lani O’ Hanlon
Creative
Writing is a subtle dance between the unconscious and the conscious,
the inner and outer world. In these workshops we will shape new work
drawing from the landscape around us and the sensual landscape of
memory. Together, as a community of writers, we will create a safe and
intimate space where new work can be shared and where you can sink below
busy thoughts and chatter to uncover and deepen your relationship with
your authentic, creative voice.
There will also be time in the afternoons to discuss your creative process.
Then there's a fascinating sounding day with poet, Mark Roper about control and surprise.
'Losing Control Of The Poem'
It’s
often said that in the best writing there is always an element of
surprise – a sense that the author, in the process of writing, has been
surprised by the direction the writing has taken. Conversely,
if it might seem that an author knows all too well exactly where s/he
is going, from the start, the writing might well feel a bit lifeless.
How do we allow ourselves to be surprised in our writing?
This
Workshop, through various games, exercises and discussion, aims to
surprise you! It will use poems and poetry for examples, but it will be relevant to all forms of writing. The
Workshop will take place in the morning, and it will be followed by
discussion of individual pieces, by participants and the workshop
leader.
Each participant should bring a piece of work to be discussed.
