Please note: this event will take place online.
Looking at narrative shapes beyond the conventional arc, we will generate ideas as to how we could write to such forms, alongside looking at how the conventional arc can and has been put upon bodies that resist it. This workshop stems from the experience of chronic illness but is for everyone! We will play with shape through drawing or collaging, planning and discussing.
TW: Discussion of the body, illness, medical narratives
