learn: weekend workshops

Oral storytelling, sound poetry and text experimentation

© Julia Dorsch

Facilitator: Julia Dorsch

Location: exploratorium berlin, Studio 2

Over two afternoons we explore different types of poetic and narrative language work in writing and the spoken word. Participants have the opportunity to get a taste of various language art methods and use them as a basis to work on their own language art works. We use images, objects and words as a starting point for poems, sound poetry and stories. Together we will conduct experiments:

  • How do I find free linguistic association?
  • How can I improvise with language?
  • How does sound arise in a poem?
  • What effects does repetition produce?
  • Which word fields do I enter?
  • Where do I write/narrate from?
  • Can I record a story without writing?

In line with the tradition of “nature writing”, we place a particular focus on sensory impressions and vocabulary relating to non-human creatures and our ecosystems.

No previous experience necessary.
