Decomposed: writing with narrative shape and embodied practice
Tue 3 Jun 2025 to Tue 24 Jun 2025
What does it mean to write in circles? To compose a story of fractals or roots? To spin a yarn that truly spirals? In this course you will be asked to stray from one of the most well-trodden paths through narrative, the arc, and instead, be invited to think about how you can incorporate other shapes into your narratives, informed by your individual embodied experience.
Each week we will discuss the potential of various shapes, how they might reflect or compliment your embodied experience and writing process, and how we might tangibly write using these forms.
We will look to queer and crip theory alongside contemporary writers who are experimenting with narrative forms, such as Renee Gladman, Zoe Wicomb and Jen Calleja, to inform our discussions and the writing we do both in and out of class.
Sessions will be made up of discussion, short readings and writing exercises, with optional reading and writing for you to do outside of class if and when you would like to.
Together, we'll think through waves and spirals, knots and networks. You'll be asked to bring shapes that you are interested in to the first session to inform the rest of the course, with the aim that you will leave with a variety of approaches you can take forward into your writing projects.
This workshop will be recorded and made available to all registrants.
