Presented by Darebin Arts, as part of inSITU: Workshop Series - Spiralling

Voice Across Creative Discipline with Jamie Marina Lau

In this workshop, we’ll explore how different art forms can influence our writing. Studying the patterns and structures that make up the worlds of other art forms, can deepen the experience of building upon the realms of our own writing. By looking to ekphrastic poetry, musical ekphrasis and digital ekphrasis, we will be exploring what it means to let other mediums and senses influence our practice, and how it can help us to develop a distinct vision and style for each of our individual writing projects. All participants should bring three or more audio samples/or songs (or a playlist!) and three images to the workshop, along with any writing they’ve been working on.

This venue is fully wheelchair accessible and has all gender bathrooms.
