This creative writing workshop on art, music and movement takes a unique look at the ways in which different disciplines and inspirations come together when we write.
What do you think? Does the way we move our bodies affect our creative process? Does the art we look at and the music we listen to impact the way we think?
Although this workshop is free for those who are part of my current creative writing programmes, it is also open to non-participants on payment of a fee.
It will be conducted by Veda Aggarwal, a performance art curator and yoga practitioner.
Staging a Script
The next writing workshop is here! It will be conducted by Lav Kanoi – actor and musician, writer and translator, anthropologist and academic. Lav is currently doing his PhD at Yale. He is an experienced translator and has published translations from Latin to English, and from Bengali and English to Hindi.
Why do we tell stories out loud? How does one read a script? And how does one script a story? These are some of the questions Lav will address.
‘Staging a Script’ is a guest session at my writing programme, and those who are part of my current batches will join it at no additional cost. However, this session is also open to non-participants on payment of a fee.
