Dear Writers
The first Artswords Writers’ Kitchen will happen at 7pm Wednesday 18th January at Lower Shaw Farm.
We will be talking about a great new project: preparing to WRITE WORDS about soul-searching and the gathering-of-winds-from-Wiltshire-Swindon for the next Big Arts Day and an Olympics launch event.
We have been asked to come up with words to support a 20-minute finale at the Big Arts Day on 14th July to go with an amazing wind machine, dancers, aerialists, high wire acts, digital displays, fire jugglers, and live music!
Our aim would also be to produce a good-quality booklet with more words and writing in it for people to take away from the Big Arts Day, as a memento of the event, which is to be titled ‘Search for the Soul of Swindon’.
Part of the show, and words, would also go on to the Olympics’ launch for sailing events at Portland, by the sea, on the beach, on 26/27/28th July, in front of thousands of people, and maybe even on telly.
To get an idea of the vision, for Wiltshire/Swindon and the whole of the south west, see http://blogspot.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f64edee162f7455f682066b24&id=7de2836057&e=43434b37ca
We, in Swindon/Wiltshire, need to do the following.
Produce good writing: poetry, prose, flash fiction, stories, one-liners, etc. that capture both ‘the soul of Swindon’ and wind from Wiltshire, or stuff like that. (Swindon = winds on!) Our hope is that we can work towards this at Writers’ Kitchens, between January and July, by getting one another inspired, looking at what’s possible, as individuals, or working on writing together, or whatever takes our fancy. We can be as free as the wind!
If you are interested and wish to discover more, please come along to the first Writers’ Kitchen at 7pm Wednesday 18th January at Lower Shaw Farm, Old Shaw Lane, Shaw, West Swindon SN5 5PJ. We are looking forward to producing wonderful soul-searching wind-words from S-wind-on!
Greetings.
