ONLINE Creative Writing & Storytelling

Service Description

5 meetings to inspire your creativity in writing and explore the co-side of Storytelling. In five ONLINE sessions, you will explore different elements to writing creatively, which are essential to good writing and which are great to explore and try for yourself. All of this will be done in the spirit of exploring what material already lives inside you, inspiring you to write freely and in an uninhibited way, and looking into ways you can use that creative headspace in other areas as well, whether professionally or just for fun. In this Online workshop-series, you will also sometimes look into (fragments from) original texts: poems, plays, prose or philosophy, in relation to the exercises. Every Online session will focus on one specific theme. We will look into; • Writing from the senses and choosing perspective: observation • Developing characters • Working with tension: structuring text and informing your reader or audience • Writing dialogue, exploring conflict and subtext • Writing poetry • Exploring themes, concerns, interests; finding your voice None of this will be dry, or purely technical. What we will do, is discovering how you can work with these techniques in a playful way, exploring possibilities of the language as we go along. You are going to work with short, easily accessible writing exercises, that set you off on a creative path right away, making the next steps in your writing process clear to you as well. You do not have to have any experience in writing, nor do you have to be working in a creative field. All you need to bring is your pen, a willingness to write, and an open mind.
