December 5, 2020 @ 4:00 pm - 5:30 pm

Workshop for all genres:
Artist as Witness: the upsides down and the insides out with Suzanne S. Rancourt

Visual writing prompts, viewed literally from various points of view, strengthens character development, dialogue, and the individual writer, by learning how to see as is. We learn how to witness. Exploring what creates tension and tone in our lines and characters is an opportunity to better understand everyday living. What emerges from our characters’ POV? How does our writing create bridges of witness to the current cultural challenges? What is a truss of tension?

Saturday, Dec 5, 4-5:30 pm.
