Attic Institute: SUMMER Online: Summer Belief Workshop w Matthew Dickman | July 11 – Aug 29
July 11, 2021 @ 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm
$344 – $370Often it seems that writing workshops are based on “disbelief”. That is to say an assumption that there is something wrong with the work being brought in and it is the task of the workshop to fix it. But in this workshop the assumption will be that the work is here to be wondered about, explored, and believed in. We will be exploring how we write poems as much as we are looking critically at the work being shared. Come join me this summer semester and lets engage in each others work in a new way. | Maximum: 12 students
NOTE: To protect everyone during the COVID-19 pandemic, we’re offering our workshops via Zoom. All students must first sign up for a free Zoom account. Setting it up is easy. And we can help you with questions, if needed. For each class, you’ll receive a Zoom “invitation,” from the instructor. Click the link…follow the simple directions about the settings for your microphone and in-computer video, and you’re immediately in the “room” for the workshop. For critique workshops, instructors will communicate with students about the process of sharing work. For more generative workshops, students will be writing together while on Zoom.
