Running time: 90 minutes
Random Acts is a workshop designed to generate new drafts of poems through interactivity, randomness, group consensus, chance, erasures, cut-ups and even dice rolls. In 90 minutes, you should come away with four first drafts to continue working on in future, and hopefully new ways of working to shake up your creative practice
