Weekend Writing Intensive with Winter Miller: The Warrior

Item Number: 164
Time Left: CLOSED
Description
Immerse yourself in the world of your next play and put pen to paper for a three-day marathon. There will not be time spent reading aloud, it’s all geared towards generating new material. This is a guided solo trip, with the camaraderie of other writers in the same room.
Included in the full weekend workshop is a one-on-one consultation to discuss your project and an overnight assignment to keep your mind churning between sessions. Exercises will be playful and provocative to move you through self-imposed hurdles and inhibitions and get you writing fast and furiously. There will also be snacks.
Face your fears, step into your deepest places and write from your heart.
Enter Friday with an open mind, leave with a direct path into your next play.
Place: A gorgeous, vast, sunlit space in Chelsea.
Time: Fri night March 28 - Sun night March 30th. Approximate times are Fri, 630-930p, Sat 12-7p and Sun 2-7p.

There was no competition in the room. There was none of that tension that often works its way into workshop settings or writer's groups, because you are there for you and your story. Take this class. You'll walk away with a new story to tell, I guarantee it. Say yes. --Sarah
I tapped into my “writer’s brain” with innovative non-threatening exercises that opened doors for me to discover unexplored creative depths. --Zanne
You will write more than you ever thought you could, yet be guided by a sailing captain who will always keep you on course and bring you safely into port. --Lucy
Taking Winter's class was like breaking down the walls of a dam. She instructed us to go to some scary places with our writing; challenging us to wander out of our comfort zones. I've taken things I learned in her class and still apply it to my writing today. --Jan
