We all know it: the fear of the white sheet. Or the shame when you have to summarize the most important topics of your own project in just a few words. Writing can sometimes be very difficult. Methods from Creative Writing can help us develop a relaxed approach to writing and discover it as an important resource for our artistic work and our empowerment. In the workshop, theoretical blocks alternate with writing exercises, which will be discussed afterwards. Don't worry: this has nothing to do with German house exercises. Nobody has to read aloud. We make use of writing and learn how it can help us to find ideas and overcome artistic blocks. We try things out and write exclusively for ourselves.

Participants: please have your favorite paper and pens ready, as we will be writing by hand.
