Course Description: The Writing Body*

The Writing Body*

55-4313

Writing complex and physically believable characters begins with an understanding of the writer's own body. Students use mind/body techniques such as yoga and meditation to cultivate a keener awareness of how the body works and its role in their creative process. Readings are used to analyze and serve as models of how writers and other artists translate physical experiences into art. Each class blends rigorous and relaxing mind/body practice with journals, creative exercises, and a variety of writing forms to challenge students to trust their body as the source of their creativity.

Course descriptions are stored in OASIS and are maintained by the Associate Dean for each School.
