Talking Dirty, Writing Sex: Susanna Davies-Crook

A workshop with writer / curator Susanna Davies-Crook

Moving from the body as a site of leaking, pulsing, wincing and craving, this intimate writing workshop will lead you through curious prompts and accessible writing exercises to consider what sex is to you, and how that translates to language and literature. Over the two hours you'll create your own sexy masterpieces a la Nin, Miller and Millet or Kraus and Cooper if that’s your thing. We’ll explore ways of accessing the erotic imaginary and consider ways to voice it both on and off the page. The space will be held kindly, with options to share as much or as little as you desire. No writing, or other, experience necessary.
