About The Event
The séance table and channelling power of the spirit medium occupy a chilling place in the collective imagination.
In this online workshop, Bernadette Russell invites students to bring their own spirits to life through creative writing. The group begins by exploring the history of séances, considering the upsurge in their popularity in 1800s England when Queen Victoria sought solace through mediums following Prince Albert's death. Students also delve into famous Hollywood depictions of séances, such as Séance on a Wet Afternoon (1964) and Host (2020). Afterwards, everyone is invited to create their own eerie creative pieces using prompts, free writing and timed exercises (with a chance to share work, if desired).
Ideal for anyone interested in ghosts, spirits and the power of words, this workshop is equally suitable for seasoned and new writers. By the end, everyone will have a new inspirational toolbox and some practice crafting their own tales…
