Wit, Wisdom and Writing Workshop with Carla White

**IMPORTANT UPDATE**

This workshop is now taking place ONLINE. Please email geoff@artscouncilwb.ca if you have questions.

Join Carla White on November 21 for Wit, Wisdom and Writing.

So, you want to be a writer?

You have a story, many stories in fact. It is said that 81% of the population feels they have a book in them and want to write it. About 5% actually write it, and only 1% publish.

Carla will share her sometimes painful, often relevant, and frequently funny experience as a writer to encourage participants to step into their artistic, creative self.

"Even if you don’t want to write the next bestseller but feel inspired to be a writer, then this workshop is for you to explore all aspects of the literary arts."

Expect discussions around:

• What stops people from writing
• Writing as therapy
• Creative cures for writer’s block and blank page syndrome
• Publishing

Artists of all experience levels and disciplines are welcome.

About The Artist In Residency & Mentorship Program

This iteration of AiR sees Carla White engaging as the Fall 2020 Artist in Residence, and aims to support Carla in developing a script dramatizing the events, demographics, learnings, and community-building that arose out of the 2016 Horse River Wildfire.

As part of Carla’s journey in the AiR program, she will be offering a workshop that supports humour, creativity and writing.

Carla’s iteration of AiR will end in a stage reading of her final script. Stay tuned for more updates and details about upcoming AiR workshops and performances.
