Water-Themed Writing Workshops

Facilitated by Riverina Water

Unleash your inner writer 

and plunge into the world of “water”

As part of the 2020 Community and Art Grant from Riverina Water, this series of four writing workshops aims to imaginatively explore water, in all its forms.

Departing from Booranga Writers’ Centre’s usual writing workshop focus, these workshops will be providing some exercises and suggestions to use to stimulate new prose, real-life commentaries, or poems.

Some ideas might be: water as tears being shed for many reasons, cleansing, both physically and spiritually; used to put out bushfires; the ocean; icebergs.

In addition, participants will be encouraged to develop writing concerned with the effects of the drought in this region, whether it be low water levels in dams, rivers or lakes, insufficient water to sustain crops and livestock, and the mental anguish that can arise from living in a rural area with limited water.

Dates for these water-themed writing workshops are:

Saturday February 15th at Booranga Writers’ Centre from 2 to 4 pm.

Tuesday March 10th at Word Play @ Mock Orange from 2 to 3 pm.

Tuesday May 12th at Word Play @ Mock Orange from 2 to 3 pm.

Saturday November 14th at Supper Room, Lockhart Memorial Hall, Lockhart, from 2 to 4 pm.

RSVP 11 November to Claire 0439 452297 or Kathryn at director@booranga.com

Submissions for consideration to be included in this year’s fourW thirty-one: Water of any new work will be encouraged.

Booranga Writers’ Centre gratefully acknowledges Riverina Water.
