Led by Georgia Shackleton and rooted in her Shackleton Violin project, this session draws on polar expedition diaries, explorers’ songs, and the living sea as inspiration for lyric writing.
Participants will work with borrowed language, explore non-human narrators, and experiment with endurance, repetition, and restraint in lyric writing. The workshop offers practical tools for turning factual or archival writing into emotionally resonant lyrics, while reflecting on how songs can engage with place, memory, and marine environments. Suitable for songwriters and writers of any level who are interested in music, history, and the natural world.
Tickets: £40 (£30 concessions)
