Has your voice gone quiet? Join us for a Creative Reset.
Take time to Recharge, Reclaim, and Find Your Voice again.
Whether you’re writing poetry, drama or prose join us for this dedicated session in creative writing . We will help you shake off the cobwebs and reconnect with your voice—whether you’re completely new to writing or returning after a break.
Led by Michael Curran-Dorsano—a Juilliard-trained American actor, poet, and screenwriter—this session is all about freedom, exploration, and expression. Michael brings a unique, generous approach and a wealth of experience to help guide you back to the joy of putting words on the page.
You’ll dive into a rich mix of creative exercises—from writing organic poetry to discovering stories in the everyday. Use classic texts to spark new ideas, or build a script from a single, surprising prompt.
Whether you're writing poetry, prose, drama—or don’t know what you're writing yet—this is a space to explore and create without pressure.
A creative reset. Self-care for the writer. Come and rediscover what writing can be.
