Our dreams hold our fears, inspire and guide our creative impulses and our trajectories. In this generative workshop led by writer, artist & educator Rupa Shenoy-Thadhani, participants are invited to create poetry that speaks to their dreams. What do we dream of and wish for in Bloomington? What are the languages in which we imagine Bloomington? Through freewriting exercises and close readings of other poems participants will delve into the emotions, images and languages to create art and poetry. This is a two-hour workshop that invites participants to explore their dreams and creativity in their own language(s). No prior experience in poetry is required. All levels are welcome to participate. At the end of the workshop, participants are invited to share their writing.

Parking is available onsite. Make your way to our main entrance on the west side of the building. There is directional signage to lead you there and a Works Museum sign above the door. 

RSVPs are encouraged for planning purposes, not required. Please email: heyshenoy@gmail.com
