In this interactive session, students will experience the joy of collaborative writing through a modern twist on the surrealist game Exquisite Corpse. Participants will build stories and poems together by writing in fragments, folding and passing their work until surprising, chaotic and imaginative creations emerge. The workshop emphasizes spontaneity, artistic risk-taking and the power of community voice — perfect for inspiring the kind of diverse, inventive writing that thrives in a literary magazine. Attendees of this session should bring a notebook or paper to participate in the writing exercises.
