Writing the body: In sickness and in health.. (and even death!) - Natasha Wielogórska

Date/time: Sunday 13th September 2026, 2:00pm - 3:00pm

Location: Harvey Norman store, Gracechurch Shopping Centre

We all live.

We all die.

We all experience sickness in different ways; both directly and indirectly.

As a surgeon and a creative, in this workshop, I invite you to explore these topics through writing.

Exploring sickness, health and even death, we will examine a range of resources and then engage in the stories of our bodies.

Using a range of contemporary and historical literature, as well as props, participants will then complete writing exercises inspired by these tools.

This is a writing workshop for anyone who wants to write about the body (poetry or prose) in either fiction or creative non-fiction. It is suitable for anyone over the age of 11 (on account of workshop concepts - health, sickness, death).
