We will embark on a deep exploration of free-writing practice, as a way of authentically accessing the stories inside us that need to be told. We will use writing as a tool to drop below discursive thinking and gain access to our subconscious, where we will become intimately acquainted with our own minds. Using a variety of writing exercises and prompts, we will engage in free-writing practice in community, where we will have the opportunity to see and be seen by our fellow artists.
We will then take the raw material generated through free-writing practice and craft it into a piece of autobiographical storytelling, whether it be a piece of theater, a novel, short story, poetry, or something else. The idea is to connect with our original impulse in its most authentic form, and shape something that speaks to who we are. We are writing ourselves into existence.
