Saturday
10th March, 3 – 6pm at Buckle Cottage, Laughton
£20
Words have shapes, sounds, rhythm; to
speak we must use complex interactions of our breath, tongue, lips. Words in
the mouth or on the page have ‘weight’ and other physical properties; they only
exist in relation to a material environment. This workshop will introduce
some exercises intended to bring awareness to our sense-experience of language,
and use examples from concrete poetry and other visual or tactile forms of
writing to inspire your own ‘material language.’
Water Writing

Syrad & Clare Whistler
Tuesday
27 March, 2.30 – 4.30pm at Gallery North, Hailsham
Free
/ by donation
This workshop will take place during the
exhibition for WATERWEEK, an annual series of events devised to draw attention
to water issues in our environment. Performance and artworks in the
water-gallery will become the inspiration for free or focused writing.
Eco-Poetics - an
introductory writing workshop
Kay
Syrad & Clare Whistler, in partnership with ONCA
Tuesday
3, April, 6.30 – 8.30pm at ONCA Gallery, Brighton
£10
This workshop is the first in a series
that will explore how we can address our complex relationship with the natural
world through poetry and prose-poetry. We will begin with a brief survey of
recent and contemporary eco-poetics, which we define broadly here as a concern
with the relationship between language and our perceptions of nature at a time
when eco-systems are deeply threatened by human actions. We will then
investigate ways of gathering material and experience for our writing,
and do some writing!
