In this workshop we navigate liminal spaces – dreams, daydreams and unconscious practice – with poetry. Together we unearth symbols and narratives from our hidden selves and put them on paper. We will look at dreaming as storytelling practice, performance of symbology, crafting language for the unseen and practical tools for play, engagement and meaning-making. In reference to poems by Federico García Lorca and Eileen Myles, participants will create poetic scaffolding for our oneiric material.
By the end of the workshop, you will have drafts for at least two poems.
Bring a dream, pen and paper.
This venue is fully wheelchair accessible and has all gender bathrooms.
