Tracie Morris Workshop Retreat at the Colony

Generating Sound in Poetry with Tracie Morris
August 30 to September 2 2012

In this course we will explore the relationship between body, page and voice. At the end of the course students can present page-based or space-based work to the community.

We'll be doing physical exercises and writing. The workshop is not restricted to any one medium and a cross-disciplinary approach is welcomed.
