COURSE:
Memoir Course
REVIEW BY:
Hildegarde le Roux, Cape Town
"It allowed me to write freely without the mind and the Critic interfering.  I feel empowered and realise that I can write.  Sharing was good for me.  The group experience made me feel less alone. Dawn is an inspiration.  Her ideas are phenomenal, the extracts chosen were both thought provoking and  moving.  The creative exercises were very helpful in accessing our own particular memories."

Memoir Course
REVIEW BY:
Helen Binkes, Cape Town
"The writing of my story helped tremendously. It ordered my thoughts and feelings and gave scope for mourning and missing. While  highlighting how lovely it is to have cats around the house! "
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."
