Mad Flora & Fauna – Writing Emotions: Youth Writing Workshop
Let’s dive into the rich world of emotions to explore how our own feelings can inspire writing.
What is the rhythm of sadness? The shape of joy? What animal or plant represents boredom? We’ll experiment with embodying emotion through writing, movement, drawing, or whatever mediums you choose, in an atmosphere of care and support.
