Our bodies and the subconscious are also wise and rich resources for inspiration and for instilling a sense of joy\, possibility\, and permission in the writing process. In this workshop\, we’ll use exercises focused on the five senses\, breathwork\, and theater-inspired movement to tap into the knowledge contained in our bodies and subconscious. You’ll walk away with new ways to bypass the internal critic\, play and experiment\, and find entry points for your writing\, whether you’re drafting a new piece or revising existing work. \n\n \n  \n  \nNICOLE LUNGERHAUSEN  writes fantasy and science fiction\, with a focus on stories that center hope and compassion\, woman-identified characters\, especially multi-generational narratives\,\nand non-romantic relationships. Nicole’s stories have been published by Abyss & Apex\, Apparition Lit\, Electric Spec\, and Luna Station Quarterly\, among others. Her writing was included in Abyss & Apex’s 2019 “Best\nof” anthology\, and received an honorable mention from Writers of the Future in 2020. Nicole’s latest work will be published by The Future Fire\, a magazine of socio-political\, feminist\, and queer sci fi and fantasy\, in June 2022.\nA professional actor for 10+ years\, Nicole takes a body-centered approach to writing\, using sensory exercises\, movement\, and breath and voice work as part of the creative process. As a coach\, she works with fiction and non-fiction writers to discover their voices and the stories they truly love to write\, and with non-profits to create and tell stories about their work and why it matters. Nicole holds dual B.A.s in Creative Writing and Theater from San Francisco State University. She currently does her living\, writing\, and teaching in Greensboro\, NC. \n  \nYou may also be interested in: \n• Sounding Bodies: Identity\, Injustice\, and the Voice\n•Memoir Plus: A Conversation on Hybrid Memoir\n•$ WORKSHOP Down the Rabbit Hole of Your Own Life: A Creative Writing Lab with Laurie Stone\n• Lost Mothers: Memoirs of Longing\n• A Conversation with Ann Hood & Julia Ridley Smith \n  URL:https://greensborobound.com/event/nicole-lungerhausen-wokshop/ LOCATION:Scuppernong Books\, 304 S Elm Street\, Greensboro\, NC\, 27401 CATEGORIES:Workshop END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20220522T123000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20220522T133000 DTSTAMP:20260430T064634 CREATED:20220325T203111Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220522T025423Z UID:8485-1653222600-1653226200@greensborobound.com SUMMARY:Truth Tellers documentary presentation DESCRIPTION:Advanced registration for this event is closed. However\, you may "walk-up" and register onsite.  \n*All events are FREE\, but we do ask that you please register so that we can monitor attendance and venue capacity.* \nWhat defines a great American?

Utilising the framework of feminist philosophy\, authors Ann J. Cahill and Christine Hamel approach the phenomenon of voice as a lived\, sonorous and embodied experience marked by the social structures that surround it\, including systemic forms of injustice such as ableism\, sexism\, racism\, and classism. By developing novel theoretical constructs such as “intervocality” and “respiratory responsibility\,” Cahill and Hamel cut through the static between theory and praxis and put forward exciting theories on how human vocal sound can perpetuate — and challenge — persistent inequalities.
