Event description

It is no secret that repetition helps our brains to remember things. But when it comes to poetry, is it really as simple as just using the same line more than once - and what about rhyme, is rhyming poetry still cool? Join Claudia Jardine in her quest to reanimate and renovate types of repetitive verse. This two-hour workshop for writers of all skill levels will include group discussions, writing exercises, prosody and time for experimenting and sharing. You are encouraged to eavesdrop and take notes on conversations featuring natural repetition in preparation for this workshop.

This event is a part of National Young Writers' Festival.

National Young Writers' Festival (NYWF) is Australia’s largest gathering of young writers, with artists bringing their craft from all around (cities, regional, rural and our beloved regular cohort from Aotearoa). We showcase work in both new and traditional forms including zines, comics, blogging, screenwriting, poetry, spoken word, hip hop, music, journalism, autobiography, comedy and prose. Our programs are free, and made by and for young writers who create across stage, page, web and beyond

Since its creation in 1998, NYWF has presented ‘writing’ in its broadest sense through panels, discussions, workshops, launches, performances, readings, installations, and more. Our program combines practical skill-building sessions with social events, interactive projects, writing showcases and collaborations.

National Young Writers’ Festival takes place on the land of the Awabakal and Worimi peoples in Newcastle, NSW. We acknowledge and pay respect to the Awabakal and Worimi people on whose land our festival was born; and many, many other First Nations Peoples as the traditional custodians of the unceded lands on which the festival occurs this year. We pay respect to elders, past, present and emerging. We acknowledge the resilience of their continuing cultures. This always was, always is, always will be Aboriginal land.
