Somatic Spiraling: The Body as a Creative Resource – An AWP Offsite Event [In-Person Only]
The body is a spiraling source of information—of memory, intuition, and instinct, of shifting energetic avenues. Often, writing is considered a disembodied act (even by writers themselves). But the physicality of writing exists on a much deeper level than simply excavating the mind for language, then allowing it to flow through fingers on a keyboard or from the wrist to the pen on a page. How might different areas of the body be conduits to the subconscious? How might exploring these spaces allow us to tap into uncharted areas of creativity we don’t normally access?
In this workshop, Amy and Emily will combine movement, guided meditation, and sensory exploration with generative writing prompts to steer writers through the energetic channels of their own bodies, in hopes of accessing surprising information for their creative work.
How to prepare:
Participants are invited to bring a cushion or mat to sit on the floor. Chairs will be provided for those who need it.
Wear comfortable clothes and socks for movement.
Writing utensils and paper will be provided, you are welcome to bring your own notebook.
