Creative Writing Workshop

Creative Writing Basic to writing creatively in any literary genre; poetry, prose, drama, is the intricate relationship between speaker, subject and audience. Students participate in a writers' workshop to explore this relationship through a variety of activities that focus on developing point of view, voice, tone and mood. In order to take advantage of the rich environment in which they are living, students are required to keep a journal and to explore the local community with the instructor during exploratory walks through Spoleto and its environs. They will also read writing by professional writers and by peers. In addition, they explore other art forms, such as music and fine art as resources for the creative use of language.
