Shared Reading and Writing Workshop Day with Dr Sarah Lowndes

Norwich Lanes

Join us at Norwich Castle Museum & Art Gallery for a day of facilitated reading and creative writing hosted by Dr Sarah Lowndes and inspired by the work of Paula Rego.

We will begin by exploring and discussing select works from the exhibition ‘Paula Rego: Visions of English Literature’, followed by a shared reading of a text which will be supplied on the day.

Shared reading involves the course leader or another group member reading aloud and the group talking about the text together. We will then carry out creative writing exercises inspired by the artworks, reading and discussion.

Participants do not need to read anything in advance or bring anything to the session – all materials will be provided. There is no expectation to read aloud, and no pressure to speak during the sessions – active listening is respected.
