Experiments in Discovery and Invention

Tuesday, September 21

$40 ($35 Jung Center members)

Nourish your creative spirit and revitalize your writing. Inspired by the philosophy and experiments of Surrealism, this class encourages the qualities of surprise, playfulness, inventiveness, and boldness. Surrealist and related material will be presented to inspire students and set the tone for the evening's activities. Activities will include various collaborations, generative games, and exercises in poetic forms. Both beginning and experienced writers are welcome.
