Inner Voices. The Secret Power of Stories.
Writing Workshop with Marietta Salvo.
Who doesn't have voices resonating within? Each of us has a dream or an obsession, a memory or a fantasy. Each of us possesses, more or less consciously, within ourselves the imaginative process that underlies writing.
Silences, sounds, and maps that we will resonate and use to organize the chaos within. Our life is a constant state of flux: transformations, suspensions, advances, stasis. Magical blends of emotions, breaths, and feelings.
We will make room for our narratives. We will discover together, through the pages of writers, poets, and poets, the crossings, thresholds, and paths, to reawaken the stories that dwell within us.
Participants will be able to write their stories in verse or prose.
In our course project:
- Readings of selected pages of poems and stories
- Emotions, Memories, Processing: the zero degree of writing. How to provoke and identify them.
- Read aloud Listen and Listen to yourself
- Awareness of the tools, reading and rereading, Focus on what can be narrated.
