This Creative Writing course is a four session series of masterclasses looking at various techniques and exercises to open up and improve writing skills, work with metaphor and imagery, create flash fiction texts and narratives to given themes and word counts as well as free writing.
This course focuses on work on character, voice, atmosphere and plot and we continue with further creative writing expansion techniques. We also read published short stories for discussion and understanding format and focusing on the necessary elements for each student to produce a finaldraft of a 1000 word narrative.
The Advanced Creative Writing Course is an intense 4 session course with higher level creative writing exercises and discussion to strengthen description, atmosphere and imagery; we also work on several key topics such as contemporizing myth in writing, symbolism and strengthening editing skills by working on review and critique.
This intensive 4 session Creative Writing course looks at how to use the alchemy of our own dream tapestry to weave into our creative writing. We can use our dreams to work on theme, characters and archetypes, dramatic structure and plot. We also look at how Jung dealt with dreams and drama, Dreamtime totems and the dreaming of landscape.
This Creative Writing course explores Hypatia, the woman, mathematician, astronomer, and philosopher. We will work principally on perspective of narrative – building in research anddivision of story ie point of view.
A Creative Writing course of 5 sessions exploring the theme of The Cartography of Self. We will be paying attention to your own arrival and departure points, psychogeography, archetypes, myths and realities, hindrances and helps and to do so we will use a blend of writing exercises, discussion, research, video capture, map making and other diverse routes and rites.
