Ateliers d'écriture

Ces ateliers d'écriture se dérouleront uniquement en anglais. Every first Wednesday of the month, Damla will organize fantastic writing workshops (2 hours long!). For every workshop, she has prepared different themes. On this page, you'll find more information about each writing session.

Second workshop / March, 5th - ...We Write (in) Silence...

More will follow on the 2nd of February...

First workshop / February, 5th - Shout your Voice to Write!
Imagine you’re in a bookstore, and a strange wind sweeps only the cover pages of all the
books of the earth. You can no longer tell which book is written by whom, yet I bet that, as
super book dragons, you will be able to guess some of the authors—like Dostoyevsky, Kleist,
or Proust—based on the echo of their voices between the lines on the faded pages.

​

This makes it inevitable to ask:
* What makes an author’s voice strong and unique?
* How can we discover and strengthen our own writing voices?
* Does the form we write in—prose or poetry—influence our voices, or vice versa?
 

In the first session of our writing workshop, we’ll explore these questions to understand the
magic behind the concept of the Voice—the key element that makes our writings unique and
memorable. The session will include writing prompts to inspire short passages, followed by
exercises to help us find and reinforce our own voices.
