Join us on the 19th October, 1PM-10PM at Canned Heat for our first-ever all female and non-binary Open Deck event.

Hermit crab essays are typically short memoir narratives presented in borrowed forms - recipes, for example, or letters to the editor.

In this workshop, participants will explore examples of the hermit crab form, work together to generate ideas for hermit crab essays, and then have time to develop and (optional!) share a piece of their own. Aimed at all - from experienced writers interested in playing with a new form or shaking a creative block, to first-timers, and everyone in between.

If the Two Ronnies were cast as Gravediggers in Shakespeare’s Hamlet re-written by Samuel Beckett you might have something like Ridiculusmus’s “Alas! Poor Yorick”.

Mixing the mundane with the magical; moments of banal idiocy are interspersed with ones of cinematic elegance to an underscore of groans, grunts and the odd Shakespearean aside.
