MOROCCO 2011 MARRAKECH 14 –22 SEPT
ART AND WRITING RETREAT
With ELIZABETH CUMMINGS & ANTHONY SATTIN
A short flight from Europe, Morocco is a world away in culture and appearance. Marrakech has a particularly exotic history with its mix of North African colours and Saharan light. It is now one of the world's liveliest playgrounds and a perfect destination for writers and artists. Elisabeth and Anthony offer brilliant guidance on this retreat. Elisabeth’s approach towards landscape and nature with Anthony's literary grasp of Moroccan culture will reveal vibrant subject matter on excursions in and around Marrakech.
USA 2011 NEW YORK CITY 28 SEPT–05 OCTOBER
WRITING RETREAT
With BARRY DIVOLA
Journalist and author Barry Divola lives in Sydney, but has travelled to New York 15 times in the last 20 years. Manhattan resembles the biggest collection of neighbourhoods in the world, and we’re going to visit many of them – doing writing exercises inspired by our excursions around the city, uncovering story angles (both fiction and non-fiction), structuring ideas, writing better travel stories & short fiction, battling writer’s block and honing our interview techniques.
