Do you know your Fool card from your Two of Wands? Or are you aware of tarot out there in the queerosphere and want to explore how you could use it in your writing?
This workshop, designed both for tarot novices and practised readers, will explore different strategies for adapting tarot to creative writing. Please bring something to write with and something to write on - no tarot cards or prior experience needed.
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.
'Vincent Price has reserved a seat for you in the 'Theatre of Blood!'
Queer Fear x Scalarama Leeds presents a screening of THEATRE OF BLOOD, a dementedly funny and deliciously macabre cult caper starring queer icon Vincent Price and Diana Rigg.
This hugely influential 1970s British horror classic follows a Shakespearean actor (Price) hellbent on deadly revenge against the snobby theatre critics who panned his performances.
