Do you wonder where creative people find their ideas? Do you often wish you could think more creatively, or express yourself in new ways? Is there a writer in you trying to come out? Or do you just like writing with other people, and talking about ideas? Balance and Common Boots Theatre bring you this creative writing workshop that will get you past your blank screen, writing, and opening up new ideas you might not even know you have. Through a series of writing prompts and exercises, participants will enjoy the act of creative writing, together, with themes that link to Balance and the Common Boots winter drama series.

This event is led by professional playwright and screenwriter Alex Bulmer, the current Artistic Director of Common Boots Theatre and the lead Curator of CoMotion Disability Arts Festival with Harbourfront Centre. Her work has been produced and presented all over the world. Alex was diagnosed with Retinitis Pigemtosa in 1987, and is a proud member of Toronto’s blind community. Her experience of becoming blind has shaped her artistic career, and deeply informed her writing.

This is a 4 session workshop, with 12 spots available on a first come, first served basis.

10:00 AM to 11:30am on:
