Write to Destroy

With Deepak Unnikrishnan
Ages 17+
In English

 

There will be a room, chairs and a long table.
Duration? One hundred and eighty minutes. 
Ten people, if even. No more. 
Goal? To place a writing rule on the table you would like to flag, perhaps eliminate/revise/resuscitate. 
Hope? To leave the workshop with a rule that feels bespoke, that only you could have made. A rule to assist your storytelling practice and/or thought(s).

 

This session is free, and all materials are provided.
