Automatic Writing with Gabriel Bump (Hybrid)
In this workshop, we’ll fall into our thoughts. Students will try to write without pausing, without second-guessing themselves.
We’ll get lost in our writing, find a trance-like state, stumble, maybe, onto something revelatory. For inspiration, we’ll read excerpts from The Magnetic Fields by Breton and Soupault.
This workshop is FREE, aimed at young students aged 12–18, and limited to 10 in-person participants with the option to join virtually.
- COVID SAFETY: We’ll be following social distancing protocol, taking temperatures, and providing masks and sanitizer as needed.
- ACCESSIBILITY NOTE: If you have any questions/issues accessing any of these opportunities, please let us know and we will work with you to make sure you can participate.
