Write, Create and Perform—for girls and women with Rupinder Kaur
Write, Create and Perform—for girls and women. Weekly 2-hour workshop sessions over six weeks led by writer-performer Rupinder Kaur.
CBC’s Dudley Creates team is inviting girls and women to take part in a series of weekly online creative workshops with Rupinder Kaur starting Tuesday 2nd November from 6.30pm - 8pm.
Rupinder says:
I want these workshops to feel as relaxing as possible, very rarely do girls and women get given a safe space to explore their creativity. Through these six weeks we will be discovering new ways to ignite creativity. To do this we will be looking at Women artists/writers/performers/directors and everything in-between of the past and present such as Kim Addonizio, Lucille Clifton, Frida Kahlo, Amrita Sher-Gil, Loorie Moore,Tracy Emin, Agnès Varda and many others.
We will explore various different outlets of art forms from poetry, spoken word, theatrical and film elements to connect to yourself and the world around you. To create pieces of your own writing and performances.
By the end of the six weeks I hope that it isn’t an end but is just the start to your creative journeys.
