Improvisational Poetry: Writing Ahead of Your Thoughts with Joshua Robinson

Have you ever wondered what would happen if you combined flying and writing? Have you ever had a feeling as though your creative writing was moving ahead of your own pen or keyboard? In this workshop, Improvisational Writing, you will learn to harness the power of spontaneous writing and creation, and together we will beckon words to fly onto the page as your creation literally writes itself.
