‘A door opens, a door shuts. In between you have had a glimpse: a garden, a person, a rainstorm, a dragonfly, a heart, a city.’ (Sylvia Plath.) How do we ‘glimpse’ our own lives, as if for the first time? How do we glimpse our family, our daily trudge, ourselves? Experience the thrill of the unknown, in our own backyard? Caroline’s workshop will explore the practice of ‘glimpsing,’ new ways of seeing, and hidden doors. Be prepared to write an almost criminal number of poems in a matter of hours. Book a place here

'Before you can surprise an audience, you must first surprise yourself on the page. This is not a crash-course in ‘the right style,’ but rather a process of unlearning in order to encounter afresh. How can we delight, frighten, confuse and confound ourselves on paper, and then bring that to the stage? How can we write and perform like ourselves?' Caroline will spend the weekend leading participants through an exploration of the mechanisms and language for performance.
