Context as Crucible: An All-Day Writing Workshop - 06/22/2012

A full or half- day writing workshop with Bonnie Hoag.

With Bonnie Hoag. Two half- day workshops run from 9am - 12pm and from 1pm - 4pm. Participants may attend one or both. This workshop will explore Sound & Meaning through the Medium of Words and within Unexpected Contexts: the “wilds” of SAW in the morning and the USUK iron pour in the afternoon. The morning workshop will consist of playful sound and aroma writing exercises followed by a walk around SAW’s property, then time for writing and sharing work. The afternoon workshop will begin with exploring the magic of etymology and let it shape contexts for writing. Participants will then watch the Iron Pour on SAW’s campus – the second context. More writing and discussion will be followed by dinner. Meals are included in the fee and after dinner Bonnie will read her writing and invite all workshop participants to share what came out of the day’s experiments. Dress comfortably for an easy hike. Bring paper/pen/pencil and a dictionary which includes etymologies after entries. Fee: $25 for one workshop, $40 for both Level: All Age: Teen through Adult *Younger students may contact the teacher to clarify appropriateness This event was funded in part by Poets & Writers, Inc. and is made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature.
