Pre-Conference Craft Workshop C – Your Body Has a Voice: Playful and Useful Movement for Writers
In this workshop, we’ll explore the many voices the body has in movement. This session is equal parts writing class, movement class, and playscape. It is an opportunity for cross-disciplinary art and collaboration.
We’ll start with gentle physical and vocal warm ups, followed by explorations and exercises that combine movement and writing to create characters. Fear not – you do not have to identify as a dancer! You only need to be curious and have an open mind.
With plenty of hours spent at a desk in your writing practice, your trapezius muscles are probably crunched! We’ll also learn some simple stretching techniques to help you loosen up and relax as you work.
(All pre- and post-conference workshops are optional add-ons to regular conference registration; limited space available.)
