Led by Matthew Morrison, playwright and creative writing tutor at the University of Westminster

Saturday 15 March 2008, 10.30–16.30
Sunday 16 March 2008, 10.30–16.30

This two day creative writing course takes the paintings of the Camden Town Group as inspiration. Themes of modernity and change will be considered alongside responses to technology, the growth of popular entertainment and the long shadow of the First World War.

The preoccupation with a changing urban environment, sensational criminal cases and the domestic effects of conflicts have strong contemporary resonances. Through practical writing exercises and entry to the exhibition participants will be encouraged to explore contemporary dilemmas and anxieties with the written word.
