Winlab Festival 2011

Writing and Improvisation Laboratory | 28 Nov - 2 Dec 2011, 11am-5pm

Andrew Morrish and  Crosby McCloy

This workshop will offer an opportunity to research ways in which the practices of writing and improvisation can inspire each other. We will look at how words arise from movement and movement animates texts. We will use different processes to develop, perform and refine our writing. We will shift between movement, speaking and writing to discover new ways of working towards performance.

Do you enjoy language and want to access it from a new angle? Are you willing to move, speak, and write? Language play will be triggered by various creative situations. We will explore language through movement by activating memory and imagination. Investigate how the power of improvising with words can improve your perception of language and ability to articulate. We will look at elements of space, dynamic, atmosphere and character as ways to elicit movement and writing.
