DISQUIET offers core writing workshops in Fiction, Memoir and Nonfiction, and Poetry as well as the Writing the Luso Experience workshop. These core workshops meet three times per week (M/W/F). In addition, each year we offer unique workshops such as The Fernando Pessoa Game, Songwriting, Travel Writing, and others. These workshops meet formally twice per week (T/R).
This cross-genre workshop will focus on writing in the short-short forms, whether lyric essay, prose poem, flash fiction, or happy combinations. Are the boundaries distinct? Are they even important? We’ll talk about this as we critique new work written in response to your Lisbon experience. Writers who prefer may choose to focus on works in progress.
These workshops will follow the traditional creative writing workshop model in which students discuss, and critique each other’s work in small groups led by the instructor.
M/W/F, 10 am - 12:30 pm Centro Nacional de Cultura

For writers and artists in any genre. A poet who engages visual arts and a visual artist whose medium is often the materiality of language issue prompts that send workshop participants out into Pessoa’s beloved city. No special skills or equipment are required except something to write with and a phone or camera to take pictures. Please bring a photo of the place where you live now and a small piece of writing describing this place for the first move in the game.
