Xpressions Public Writing Workshops

The Sparrow's Fortune will facilitate an 8-part series of creative writing workshops with the participants of University Circle Inc. This will be a combination of workshops that target conversation regarding methods of writing poetry and the skills necessary to perform poetry. This series will focus on developing participants' emotional processing and physical expressioning skills. Through each workshop, participants will identify and discuss their life experiences while reading poetry and essay excerpts. Participants will then discuss and practice expression as it relates to writing letters, crafting poetry, and reciting their work aloud.

This series indirectly helps participants cultivate their own ability to create positive environments for themselves and others, practicing active listening and responding to challenging situations with confidence.
