Caravanserai Writing Workshops

July 10th or 17th,

£30 per person, overnight accomodation optional

Course Outline

session 1:

writing with a sense of place -

Drawing on the experiences of contemporary Cornish Writers, who have responded to interview questions about everything from their roots in Cornwall, making a living as writers, a sense of home, and how they draw inspiration from a sense of place.  This session looks overall at poetic writings inspired by nature, writing for performance, and the context of landscape in literature generally.

session2:

Living the language -

taking a look at the voice, the inner voice, the reading voice, the character's voice, drawing on experiences working with Sign Language (BSL) writers in particular – incorporating the visual within the language of the  spoken word.

(there are breaks between the sessions, time to chat, talk a walk,  or to feel inspired)

session 3:

Fireside reading -

the after dinner evening session is an open forum around an open fire, a supportive atmosphere where participants are encouraged to read some of their own work, or something which has particularily inspired you. An opportunity to take time to discuss ideas on an intimate level.

Course Leader:

Mac Dunlop (M.A.) is the Poetry Editor of Cornish World Magazine, and writer of the comedy radio series 'Unspoken Words' - now in its second successful year and syndicated on London’s Resonance FM.
