Course Reviews

COURSE:
Travel Writing Short Course
REVIEW BY:
MARGARET-ANNE HALSE, CAPE TOWN
"Once again I have come away with fresh insights and a renewed desire to really get stuck into writing."
COURSE:
How We Respond to Art
REVIEW BY:
Nina Geraghty, Cape Town
"What a stimulating and enlivening course!We wrote our responses to a work of art we were drawn to and one we disliked - I learnt so much about how my current state of being reflects in what I'm attracted to and it was revealing to face my prejudices and biases in what I turn away from.Everything begins with emotion and brought up the question for me: are we drawn to art that reflects and matches what is already inside us or what is dormant and needs awakening? Perhaps a bit of both.It was a special impromptu treat to be joined by the Norval's Senior Advising Curator Karel Nel who listened with such interest to our writing pieces and gave such astute feedback on each one."
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:
Audio Course
REVIEW BY:
Kirstie Nel, Cape Town
"It served an ice breaker helping me get back into writing, while the playfulness through the prompts and tasks were a good way to engage internally and let things out through a deepened process.The online meet ups were the most enjoyable! Sharing stories was an important though scary process initially. Dawn is an open and thoughtful facilitator with excellent listening skills. It was very valuable for me to have my writing & my voice heard and affirmed in a group."
COURSE:
Audio Course
REVIEW BY:
Olive Klara Hodge, Cape Town
"Thank you for making this an audio course. Due to lockdown, I fear many of us have "Zoom Fatigue", therefore I very much appreciated being able to just listen. The audio sessions are very valuable as you are able to revisit exercises if you stumbled through them."
