"Look to Write:" An Innovative Surrealist Workshop
Saturday, September 30th-October 28th.
| Instructor: Dr. Vassiliki Rapti
Session 1: Saturday, September 30th, 10:00AM-1:00PM
|
This course is intended for writers who wish to challenge themselves by exploring new ways of looking at subjects and objects, drawing on Surrealism. A hybrid of a writing workshop and a literary theory course focusing on Surrealism's main tenets, such as the "Surrealist object," "mad love," "objective chance," "Surrealist dialogue," "Surrealist games," "Surrealist look," it will stress the notion of visuality and will change the ways we write when looking at others looking. In a series of five meetings participants will be inspired by being introduced to the most intriguing Surrealist texts and works of art and will come up with five original works of theirs which will receive feedback for revision.
The course is open to everyone.
