SUMMARY:Writing in Glass
DESCRIPTION:Watch live glass making demonstrations\, have a walk round the exhibitions and write in a ‘floating’ pod. \nWe will observe the glassmaking process\, watching expert glass demonstrations such as flameworking\, glass blowing and lathe techniques. We’ll have a walk through the exhibitions on display and have a stroll by Sunderland’s former shipyard. We’ll do lots of talking and even do some writing in the Glass Centre’s pod\, a unique ‘floating’ event space overlooking the Wear. \nWe’ll talk about the glass-making process. And we might not have the language or the specific syntax to talk about the techniques or operations being used\, but that’s the point. We might not even talk; we might just gesture in imitation of a glass blower\, or point\, or draw. What happens when words stop? And how do we use language\, textually and visually to describe a man blowing on a stick? How does our writing reflect\, refract and obscure the world around us? And finally\, how do we work transparency and/or opacity into our writing? \nYou might have no idea about glass\, be an inveterate watcher of Blown Away\, or just appreciate a good Pyrex casserole. But by the end of the workshop you’ll walk away having seen a live glass blowing demonstration! And maybe a better understanding of your relationship to glass\, whether it’s a love it or leave it situ. You’ll maybe draw some parallels in your own writing to the glass-making process. You might even get to hear about an exciting\, upcoming Squad glass project…

SUMMARY:Politics and Prose with Preti Taneja
DESCRIPTION:How to work with real life laws\, evidence and witness testimony in all your many forms. \nIn this workshop we will look at the ethics\, politics and aesthetics of working with real life situations and research evidence\, including legal documents\, and gathering witness testimony\, as you write. \nWe will talk about situations where we have gathered witness testimony for our research\, how to handle sensitive material and respect interviewees; we will share and build towards best practice when your work includes other’s real stories or identifiable lives especially friends and family. We may discuss how we can engage with legal documents that inform our world-building and how we can go about this in a fictionalised way. \nYou will leave the workshop with an appreciation of the value of research and the wealth of real documents and stories that exist for writers to draw in formally inventive ways. You will learn how to bring the politics into the prose with style and confidence.

SUMMARY:TEN Talks: Sex in YA Communities
DESCRIPTION:Part of TENTalks – a series of discussions on ethical and philosophical writerly questions. \nSex is everywhere from ads\, to TV\, to music but should it be everywhere? In this discussion\, we’re asking two questions: should sex be present in books marketed as ‘YA’? And how should a fandom community act when a book marketed to younger readers contains sexual content? To answers these questions\, we’ll be looking at the work of Sarah J Maas\, an author known for her very explicit books that despite being marketed as New Adult very much still find themselves in the YA section\, and the infamous #DickSoap scandal that rocked her fandom and all of Book Twitter back in 2018. \nThere’s no preparation required other than having your thoughts (or your ears) ready to partake. But if you wish\, here’s an article about DickSoap: https://electricliterature.com/young-adult-novel-twitter-is-losing-its-absolute-mind-over-penis-shaped-soap/ and you can choose to read Sarah J Maas novels such as Throne of Glass or ACOTAR (‘argh my eyeballs’ discretion is advised).

SUMMARY:Writing in Glass - A Three Day Project
DESCRIPTION:Priority for N.E. based Squad writers. If you are N.E. based\, sign up by this Friday (20th) – sign-ups will then be open to writers in all locations of all Squads. \nOver a series of three days (Saturday 11\, Sunday 12 and Saturday 18 of June) you’ll get a chance to develop your writing practice against glass fusion techniques. This project will focus on distortion\, tension\, colour and the tactile world. We’ll be thinking about thing-power\, the importance of scrap in our writing and our handling of the world around us. \nAlongside glass artist Anna Selway we’ll look at different applications of frit\, stringer and ribbon. On the Saturday we will familiarise ourself with the museum\, and have a gander and play of the space we’ll be working in. The National Glass Centre is a historic venue right next to Sunderland’s old shipyard and metres away from St Peter’s Church. On Sunday we’ll work primarily with our glass pieces\, applying materials to our glass pieces. Then on the following Saturday\, we will receive our fused glassworks back from the kiln\, and will work on binding (yes binding glass!)\, arranging and exhibiting them. \nThis project will take place in the National Glass Centre in Sunderland\, so priority will first go to writers based in the North East\, before we open it up to other Squad members. The project will run from approximately 11am-4pm over the three days. If you are not based locally\, accommodation can be provided. If you will need accommodation for the night of the 11th of June\, please email Billie on billie@writingsquad.com ASAP. \nYou don’t need ANY prior experience to be part of this project\, just an open-mind\, and a love/desire to work with the tactile world. This is a fantastic opportunity to work interdisciplinary with a fantastic glass artist and a brilliant space.

SUMMARY:Awesome Poetry: The Air Year
DESCRIPTION:OPEN TO ALL SQUADS \nOne of the very best ways to become a better writer is to read widely and thoughtfully. Building on Emma and Matt’s great work in establishing the Awesome Play Text / Screenplay Reading Club\, and Francesca’s prose club\, Malika and Stevie are hosting the Awesome Poetry Reading Club to focus on how we can read as writers. \nIf you want to join us\, then here’s what you need to know: \nThis session will focus on Caroline Bird’s The Air Year. The text can be purchased here. \nThe Air Year is a time of flight\, transition and suspension: signatures scribbled on the sky. Bird’s speakers exist in a state of unrest\, trapped in a liminal place between take-off and landing\, undeniably lost. Love is uncontrollable\, joy comes and goes at hurricane speed. They walk to the cliff edge\, close their eyes and step out into the air.

SUMMARY:The Butterfly in the Corner: Revitalising Old Myths
DESCRIPTION:Now it is a well-known fact that literature is constantly in conversation with other literary text in some shape or form. This workshop will exploit this tradition as the starting point for writing our own poems. We will turn up to the blank notebook page armed with material\, that our imagination can translate\, update\, transform and in some cases give voice to silenced characters or even fill in gaps left out of the original text. \nWe will write a poem using a myth\, folklore\, fairy tale\, fable\, religious\, and / or historical tale as a starting point. Your poem will be in conversation with an iconic\, well known and influential text. Hopefully you will find it both fascinating and rewarding to reimagine a text that we know and love\, in order to present another perspective. \nCome to the workshop armed with a myth\, fairy tale\, folklore\, religious and / or historical tale that has always fascinated you in some way or form to use for stimulus for the poem we will create. \nNote: This workshop is only open to members of the Writing Squad. It is not open to the general public.

SUMMARY:Interactive Fiction: Choose Your Own Adventure
DESCRIPTION:We’ll take a look at the many ways in which interactive stories exist\, with a dive into examples from the games space\, print\, and new media. We’ll look at ideas and structures that make interactive fiction such a unique way to tell stories\, and then roll up our sleeves and get stuck into a number of easy free tools to create our own works. \nAlthough this is a primarily a hands-on workshop\, the discussion will focus on what makes interactive storytelling really tick\, what sets it apart from linear fiction\, and where the overlaps are. This workshop is a space for experimentation. \nYou will come away from this workshop with new insights and understanding of a writing form you’re perhaps unfamiliar with\, as well as some useful practical skills for creating your own work. You’ll also be given a cohesive spring-board into more learning and work through comprehensive hand-outs at the end of the workshop. \nBring a laptop of some kind\, or anything that connects to Wifi and has a web browser! We can also provide machines if need be. Nothing else needed.

SUMMARY:Amanda Dalton Workshop: Lost in Translation
DESCRIPTION:More details and signup here. \nHow might we go about dramatising a novel? And is it ever possible or desirable to turn a poem into a play or a short story into a poem? How do we settle on the genre for something we want to explore through writing? What happens to a text when we change its form? What’s the point – is there a point\, ever\, in adapting an existing text? This workshop will consider these questions and experiment with some of the fun\, creative discoveries and challenges to be had when we adapt our own or other people’s writing and/or style of presentation. \nWe will produce some new writing in response to an existing text or texts. We will try out new skills and techniques around adaptation and reflect on our writing processes and how we decide which form or genre we want to write in and how some material might be better suited to one form or another. We’ll also have had a go at turning a piece of our own writing into a different ‘form’ or genre.
