Writing Workshop: New Writing, New Languages

In this transdisciplinary writing workshop, participants will embark on writing that might extend language into communicating the illegible, the unspeakable, and the unthinkable. We will entertain both the critical necessities and flights of fancy that might move us to write (with) a new kind of language, while paying respect to the languages of heritage and artistic practice we bring into the workshop. This new writing and new language may come from moving the hand, listening with the whole body, and marking or transcribing sound, breath, and space.

Together, we will read and discuss textual and visual scores, artists books, video, sound and digital writing, drawings, translation writing, concrete poetry and asemic writing, dictionaries, indexes, video performances, and more.
