ENGWRT 1530 - WRITING AND HEALING ARTS: WRITING AND THE BODY

Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
The body, our bodies, are our pathways to empathy. They are how we engage with the world and others. They are how we create a sense of both self and "other". They are both universal - we all have one - and deeply personal (we all have only one). They are finite and mortal, yet miraculous. They are changed by place, by illness, by growth, and experience. While we can feel locked in our own skin, we can experience others' bodies through reading, writing, and sharing our lives with others. In this segment of Writing & Healing Arts, students will read a variety of texts that engage with bodies. Using these texts as springboards for their own writing, students will write the texts of their own bodies and share them in a supportive workshop environment. Guest writers and speakers with expertise in movement, mindfulness, and the body-mind connection will enhance the workshop experience.
