Starting from February 6, aspiring storytellers will have the opportunity to participate in a six-week creative writing workshop hosted by the Greek Community of Melbourne.
The aim of the program is to guide participants through a transformative creative writing journey, which will help them shape their own personal stories into work.
Through dynamic writing exercises and literary examples, participants will acquire the skills and confidence to craft stories or poems drawing on the distinctiveness of their cultural and personal experiences.
Poet, writer, editor, and broadcaster Dr Tina Giannoukos will be leading the workshop, bringing her wealth of experience in teaching creative writing and her own accomplishments in field to the participants.
Accomplishments like being shortlisted for her collection of poetry in the 2017 Victorian Premiers Literary Awards and longlisted for the 2017 ALS Gold Medal.
“In a diverse literary culture where dominant narratives still predominate, this workshop will guide participants to tell their own distinct stories,” the published poet and radio presenter said in a media release.
“It will explore the art of transforming the personal into the imaginative. It’s not exclusively for writers but welcomes individuals from all walks of life. Whether you are an aspiring writer or simply curious about storytelling or poetry, this workshop will provide a welcoming space for creative discovery and expression.”
The workshop will be conducted in English and held every Tuesday starting from February 6 until March 12, 6pm to 8pm, at the Greek Centre on Lonsdale Street.
Participants will also receive a certificate of attendance.
