Writing workshops for adults

Tusitala Hotel workshops, 26th-30th June 2023
In June 2023, project poets Caroline Sinavaiana Gabbard and Selina Tusitala Marsh ran a series of creative writing workshops with adult partipants from Sāmoa at the Tusitala Hotel in Apia.
Workshop activities included:
(i) Using Stevenson’s fiction as inspiration for creating new poetry and narratives about places and experiences significant to each individual participant
(ii) Creating ‘blackout’ poems (where participants were invited to circle key words of their choice from the opening paragraphs of Stevenson’s adventure story ‘The Beach of Falesá’, and to use these key words as the basis of their own new ‘found poems’
(iii) Free and timed writing exercises, with material used as inspiration for new poems and narratives.
