How the Body Holds Its Stories: An Embodied Writing Workshop
All Levels | How do our bodies hold on to experiences? In this course, writers will come together to consider the physical act of writing—how we translate embodied knowledge into language on the page. By moving our bodies and engaging our senses, we will generate new writing that touches on our vulnerability and articulates hard-to-reach memories. Writers of all genres encouraged to participate; there is something for the poet, memoirist, and fiction writer in this class.
Due to COVID-19, all classes will take place online-either through Zoom or through Wet Ink, our asynchronous learning platform-through Spring quarter 2021.
All times are listed in Pacific Time.
