Have you ever wondered what would happen if the words on the page of a poetry book could move around, or change at random into other words, or became a game that you could play rather than simply read?
Join writer Pippa Hennessy for this hands-on workshop where you'll learn about different effects that you can achieve with text on a computer screen, and how those can add extra dimensions to your poetry for you as a writer, and for your readers too. We'll use the free app, Twine, to make non-linear poems, poems with random elements, and poems the reader can interact with and co-create.
You can join Pippa for a performance after the workshop and present your new digital poetry to a public audience.
Suitable for adults (16+). Booking advised.
You can select Workshop Only or Workshop and Performance to attend the performance later in the day.
