About the Workshop:
In this writing workshop Gerry will share some of the practices he uses to descend into and distill memory into new form. In this solo writing workshop he will invite you to unearth in detail the words that live closest to a memorable and/or remarkable time. Where one feels whole, complete or at peace, moves wildly, or truthfully, or dangerously, or loud.... It may be in stillness when space falls away or in quiet when time stands still like in the dance above. However, for each of us the story will be varied when we touch down from somatic memory and find a way to share it with others. Reforming what burdens us into lightness and mobility, and what delights us into the gravitas of need is your story where your art and your wellness just might meet.
