Humanitix 2024 Sonic Poetry Festival Workshop (2160 x 1080 px)

Beyond the Page Poetry Workshop with Indrani Perera

Do you find it hard to put your feelings into words? Are you struggling to find ideas? Has the muse left you and inspiration fled? Are you stuck in a rut with your writing — revisiting the same metaphors and line breaks again and again?

It’s time to neurohack your writing and get out of your poetry rut!

In this two hour workshop with Indrani Perera, author of pas de deux and editor of the Pocketry Almanack, you’ll learn how to get out of your head and creep into the cracks by exploring the spaces in between. Through exercises and writing prompts you will:

  • use movement and drawing as part of your writing practice and to access different parts of the brain. 
  • write poems from different points of view, including insects and inanimate objects.
  • write using senses other than sight — especially those of sound and hearing.

Bring your child-like self, a sense of adventure and a willingness to play!

Proudly part of Sonic Poetry Festival 2024: poetry that sounds like all of us.

IP - Liminal Spaces Beyond the Page Workshop

Beyond the Page - A Liminal Spaces Workshop with Indrani Perera

Get out of your head and creep into the cracks with a workshop that explores the spaces in between. Bring your child-like self, a sense of adventure and a willingness to play. Through movement, sound and drawing you’ll discover how to write poems that move beyond the page.

As a tool to tap into those spaces between our thoughts, this workshop will also explore different ways of using pen and paper. Bring along any art supplies that feel inspiring (coloured pencils, textas, watercolour paints, pastels) as well as journals, sheets of blank paper etc. It’s an excuse to go wild in the stationery section!
