Writing the Body: 2 Session Generative Seminar starting April 21
Mondays, 4:30-6:30 Pacific Time, starting April 21
The weird and wild body is a rich site of exploration in creative nonfiction. How do we occupy our bodies, what do we do with them, how do we feel in them? What is the relationship between the body and the self?
By delving into spaces of illness, sexuality, athletics, genetics, and more, we can bring some of the truths of our bodies to the page and begin to tell bigger truths about the experience of being human and alive.
In this two-session generative seminar for writers with all levels of experience, you will be guided through readings from writers like Melissa Febos, Maddie Norris, and Aisha Sabatini Sloan, prompts, and practices that allow you the opportunity to explore the questions, stories, and lessons your body holds.
Writers will leave this class with a deeper understanding of how to write their physical experiences, an increased skill set in the craft of body writing, and a keen eye for analyzing the meaning of physical culture.
This is a 2 session seminar. We meet on Zoom, Mondays from 4:30-6:30 Pacific Time, starting April 21.
