Event description

As part of the Art Is...Festival 2021 Soul Language Tour Amy Bodossian is facilitating a special one day poetry writing workshop right here in the Riverland!

Poetry has the power to take what's inside of us and give voice to our unique experience in a way that no other art form can. Acclaimed poet and performer Amy Bodossian will lead a workshop designed to crack us open and get to the heart of our poetic voice. Write some exciting new poetry and share it in a safe and welcoming space where your unique creativity is not only supported but passionately encouraged.

You will learn:

How to switch off the critic, tap into inspiration and write more often
How to structure, edit, shape a poem – what to focus on, what to leave out
How to drill down to the heart of what you are wanting to express in a poem
How to be proud of and embrace the quirks that make your poetry unique
How to get more comfortable sharing our work and exposing our vulnerability when sharing our words with others.

All levels of ability welcome.

We are a creative gathering place and ideas hub. We organise events, gatherings, meetings, workshops, mentoring, projects and everything in between.

We are in the business of bringing local creative ideas to life.

Our vision is that when people think of regional South Australia, they think quirky and inspiring creative experiences in the same way that when people think of Melbourne, they think of fancy coffee.

Our mission is to nurture a creative and connected generation of doers in and from regional South Australia.

We organise projects, events, gatherings, meetings, workshops, mentoring and everything in between to achieve this mission. We present quirky, unique and memorable experiences created and curated by regional artists and thinkers: audio walking tours, immersive theatre, collaborative writing projects, visual arts exhibitions, video game jams, intimate concerts and creative based workshop tasters.

We are inspired by DIY culture, contemporary & experimental art, entrepreneurial thinking, community service and a ferocious pursuit of “how could this be better?”
