Experiments in Discovery and Invention: A Writing Workshop

Saturday, February 20
1 - 4 pm
$40 ($35 Jung Center members)

Nourish your creative spirit and revitalize your writing in this class. Inspired by the philosophy and experiments of Surrealism, this class encourages the qualities of surprise, playfulness, inventiveness, and boldness. Surrealist and related material will be presented to inspire students and set the tone for the afternoon's activities.

Activities will include various collaborations, generative games, and exercises in poetic forms. Both beginning and experienced writers are welcome. For returning students from last fall's class: Each "Experiments" class is different, with new activities and explorations.
