TICKETS - https://stage4beverley.com/whats-on/mixtape-memories-a-poetry-writing-workshop-with-chris-sewart/Join Chris Sewart, as we kick-start the festival with a poetry writing workshop that takes your musical memories as inspiration.
Did your first love give you a mixtape of 70s Glam rock? Did your best mate get you into Britpop with a compilation tape? Did a carefully assembled Motown cassette turn you into a soul fanatic? Whether it’s a C60 cassette, a burned CD, or a digital playlist that sparks a memory, this informal and practical workshop will lead you through some fun writing prompts and exercises – that will unlock your creativity and take you dancing down unexpected poetry paths.
This workshop is for writers of all abilities. So, just bring your pad, your pen, and your curiosity…and don’t worry, no prior knowledge of mixtapes or poetry is necessary!
Tickets £15
