"The Art of Recklessness" workshop with Saili Katebe

Saili Katebe is a Zambian born writer, performer and workshop facilitator based in the South West of England. His work celebrates the musicality of language and the power of art as a way to connect people. When he is not writing, or performing his own work, he actively seeks out opportunities to collaborate with other artists across other disciplines.

Please join the inimitable Saili for this wonderful writing workshop!
Aimed at both new and experienced writers, it is a chance to mine the building blocks of poetry and story from everyday experiences. Writing isn't a solitary task confined to a desk, blank page, or the blinking cursor of an empty screen. Finding art from the everyday is an exercise in curiosity and exploration.
