Poetry Workshop: Better out than in? with Toby Campion

Poetry and spoken word are often championed as go-to mediums of creative catharsis. But how healthy is it to think of art in this way? How do we take care of ourselves when being asked to ‘dig deep’? What is the future for young artists in a sector that tells them their biggest asset is their trauma?

In this relaxed and open writing workshop with former UK National Poetry Slam Winner Toby Campion, you’ll explore ways to approach writing the personal by avoiding the pedagogy of ‘bare your soul’.

Through prompts and exercises, you’ll leave the workshop with at least one draft of a new piece of writing.

Share five words that describe your work around mental health…

Do what feels right babe
