Your Body is a Writer - How Movement Unlocks Better Writing

Get your mind and body working together. Your writing will thank you.

We feel a story or a poem in our bodies. We laugh and weep into the page. We write with our hearts, with our guts, with our muddy boots and arthritic knees, with our skin and bones. Bringing together movement and writing opens the doors to play. Getting off our backsides and away from the screen raises the heartbeat, creates good vibrations and deeper breathing. It is better for our well-being and better for our art.

Through activities you will explore how breath, posture, gesture, and movement can stimulate your writing. Simple physical and written exercises will help you access the subconscious, develop compelling characters, and create vivid description.
