HIDDEN NERVE
with Andra Putnis
10-1pm Saturday, 29 March
OUR KALEIDOSCOPIC MEMORIES
“Don’t all writers have a hidden nerve, call it a secret chamber, something irreducibly theirs, which stirs their prose and makes it tick and turn this way or that, and identifies them, like a signature, though it lurks far deeper than their style, or their voice or other tell-tale antics?”
— André Aciman
Hidden Nerve in 2025 will consists of a trio of thematic series.
For each Season participants will meet across 3 consecutive Saturday mornings for 3-hour workshops.
Each workshop is inspired by the theme of the series, and led by a different writer.
Season 1 - Autumn Program
The first season of Hidden Nerve is themed around history and memory. Come along as we explore the following questions and more:
How can history inspire fiction?
How do you weave research into storytelling?
How do you place your story in collective memory?
What stories reside in place?
