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."

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."

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."

Lost/Found Memoir Course

REVIEW BY:

Charlotte Mande Ilunga, Cape Town

"The writing course at LRC has helped me deal with my painful past and to see the potential in me. It has encouraged me to read, write more and to be connected with other people.My published stories are an educative tool and it promotes the willingness to share our stories. By sharing we create an awareness, we connect and heal as a nation.Everything is a story and your story is my story, and when it is written it will be preserved for the generations to come."

"It was the vitamin B1 injection that I just needed. Dawn created a safe place to explore hidden demons and her warmth empowered me to be brave."
