Replying to @SecondCityPoets
It went pretty well! This Friday we're at @mimauseful trying out some other parts of the Rebellious Bodies piece, and experimenting with live page-to-stage writing to demonstrate process - raw product, audience as co-creators!!
Thanks so much to everyone who has applied to our workshop series! Applications are now closed and we’ll be getting in touch with applicants about our decisions as soon as possible :)

We’ll be starting on the hour, and if you can make it, please bring something to write with! It will be a meeting rather than a webinar, but there’s no pressure to have your camera on 😊
