Interactive Writing
WRITE TO THE CITY: Adventures in Social Writing
Thursday November 4, 8:30pm-10pm
Brickhouse Bar, 730 Main
Join the Thursdays Writing Collective with guest author Michael Turner for 90 minutes of writing prompts, pencil-chewing, and laughter as they push the phrases and numbers that determine how we navigate Vancouver into a creative realm. Numbers, acronyms, forms: how can we repurpose these constraints and social controls into an act of creative liberation and change the way we experience civic space? Pencils and paper will be supplied and participants will have the opportunity to share their writing. Michael Turner is a Vancouver-based author of fiction, criticism and song. His books include Hard Core Logo, The Pornographer’s Poem and most recently 8×10. He blogs at this address: http://mtwebsit.blogspot.com/. The Thursdays Writing Collective, directed by Elee Kraljii Gardiner, has been called by Geist magazine “the biggest, boldest, and by far the most vital conspiracy of writers operating in Vancouver at present.” TWC meets at Carnegie Community Centre every Thursday for drop-in creative writing sessions. More info at www.thursdayspoemsandprose.ca. Cash bar. Free admission
