About the event
In this workshop you will invite the alphabet to your creative party!  You never know what they’ll be wearing. Letters love words. Words love playing with the visual muse. Sometimes they tease them with ideas, messages and shapes. Words and letters love to be sprinkled into a poetic dance. They’ll sing with your ideas, thoughts and feelings. Sometimes words talk too fast. And they can shout. They carry our story, the meaning and the nonsense, our dreams, wishes and prayers. They know when to whisper, when to cry… and when to shout. They know what’s important. Listen!  Let them speak. And clear the dance floor!
