HYBRID GENRE WORKSHOP

It’s Alive! - Finding the Spark In Your Work

Syr Beker

What is the magic that makes a piece of writing or art feel so uniquely, irresistibly alive, and how do we connect to that aliveness in our practice? What if a better word for craft was inspiration?

In this workshop, we will focus on image, structure, worldbuilding, characters, and endings to ask: what makes this feel alive. We will borrow methods across genre and art forms, including theater, architecture, and visual art, and we will listen deeply to what draws us. The goal is to discover, beyond sometimes limiting notions of craft, the practices and concepts that give you, specifically you, access to that current of electricity that makes your writing come roaring to life.
