Workshop description his class begins with the premise that every writer has access to a well of potential voices. The root of this comes through the writers' ability to access memories, both experiential and sensory. Through writing and performative exercises, we will focus attention on developing these voices and identities. In addition to creating and embodying these ideas from the substance of your life and being, we'll address issues relating to the creative process, audience, social and cultural relevance, point of view, and using sense-memory in the oral interpretation of your work, depending on the interests of the participants. Open to all levels.
