Workshop the Word
Creative processes for unpacking the word of God - the Bible - that can be used to explore and develop other textual material as well.
We will explore, engage with and 'explode' (!) Bible-based creative material... Techniques that can be used with just about all age-groups and levels of background/experience in the Arts.
The creative activities we will explore in have been developed and refined by Tim over many years and used in a variety of contexts and settings. Titles of the processes to be explored include 'Jamming the Gospel', 'Moving the Gospel', 'Celebrating the Psalms', 'Poem-ising the Gospel' and 'Tableaux-ing the Gospel'.
Excerpts from Tim's recent performance piece, "Journey into John" (based on the first 3 chapters of John's Gospel), will also be presented and workshopped.
Each session in this Elective is 2 hours long.
