2010 Writing Workshop with Nicole Terez

WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION

The 2010 StarArts Writing workshop will be a playground for rowdy impulses and your most wayward ideas. Dusty habits will be transgressed and tossed overboard. We’re not going to bother with rules and definitions— we’ll just launch headlong into the unmapped and far flung regions of your creative sensibilities. This workshop explores strategies for generating and manipulating texts (including collage, petty theft, n+7, diagramming and improv). Participants will emerge with some spit-shined pieces, a host of good party tricks and a whole buffet of text building tools at their disposal.
