Music is the art which is most nigh to tears and memories. (Oscar Wilde) In memory, everything seems to happen to music. (Tennessee Williams) We all have a story to tell. However, knowing where to begin can become so overwhelming that we put off writing the story at all. This is an invitation to re-collect, record and share the stories from your life through the lens of “music”. What are the stories behind your favourite bands – where did you listen to music, what festivals, concerts, operas did you go to and what were the best and what were the worst and how have they played a role in your life? Did you sing or play a musical instrument? How did music play a role in your family when you were a child? What music did your parents and grandparents enjoy? What music completely transforms your mood? What was the first song you slow-danced to? What music do you associate with love and those you love? What music do you associate with loss? Please bring your own writing instruments to a safe environment where you will experiment with writing strategies using prompts, share your writing with others, and begin your collection of life-stories.
