Course Reviews

COURSE:
How We Respond to Art
REVIEW BY:
John Cartwright, Cape Town
"A useful and thought-provoking experience of re-learning how to “read” - it brought up certain assumptions and pre-dispositions, which would not necessarily have surfaced in the well-worn process of “reading” words."
COURSE:
Creative Writing
REVIEW BY:
Kaulana Williams, Cape Town
"It gave me a practical technique to get my body ready for writing by using the visualization exercises that Dawn taught us.I enjoyed the practical approach and liked the casual atmosphere which felt like a safe space with friends where we could ask and share anything, even though we were all strangers.It was comforting to know that if you’re struggling, you’re not alone."
COURSE:
Rewrite Your Childhood
REVIEW BY:
ROZ HOEK
You will never know what a gift the course has been and what it has done for me, as well as the ripple effect my writing will have in the future. The gentle guidance and patience since then has given me the joy of believing in myself as well as the sheer delight of remembering and writing. A door opened for me that has led me to meeting wonderful people who also stimulate and affirm me. "Thank you" are such inadequate words, but I have no other, except to say that you have enriched my life immeasurably.
COURSE:
How We Respond To Art
REVIEW BY:
UCT SUMMER SCHOOL
The evaluations from your students indicate that many felt they benefitted greatly from your facilitation and encouragement to draw on their own inner resources to spark their writing, and that through this they gained knowledge about themselves and insights that were highly enriching to the writing process. They were given some methodology and tools and felt supported and enabled to be self-reliant in their work. Although this made others used to a more didactic approach insecure at first, they adapted to it and acknowledged its value.

I enjoyed all the writing exercises as they showed me I have the potential to be a writer but I LOVED the excerpt readings and the balance of energies between the facilitators the most.
