Sunday 28th - Workshop: Pen Nor Paper

After years of writing for traditional theatre and radio, dramatist and cross-art form adventurer Jennifer Farmer found herself working in art forms that challenged her definition of writing and her identity as a writer. In this practical workshop, Jennifer explores what it means to write for cross-art forms and shares tools and techniques on how and when to blur the lines. This is a writing workshop for those who believe that writing doesn’t always require pen or paper.

Saturday 4th - But What Kind Of Art
As an artist, you may be drawn to one particular medium over another, but that doesn’t mean that you always remain faithful to it. In order to develop your craft, you may be interested in exploring different genres and means of expression and want to challenge what has become expected of you. However, too often, others are resistant when you step outside of your box and are less easy to define. But What Kind Of Art is an artists’ conversation about how to trust yourself when experimentation is not always encouraged.
7 - 9 pm
