Cross-Genre Writing: a workshop with Triny Finlay, Rebecca Salazar and Kasia Van Schaik
This creative writing workshop explores cross-genre practices as spaces of experimentation, hybridity, and formal freedom. Drawing on the work and experience of Triny Finlay and the other hosts, the session invites participants to reflect on how texts move between genres (fiction, poetry, essay, performance, or theory) and what such crossings make possible in terms of voice, structure, and meaning. The workshop will combine discussion and creative prompts, encouraging writers to think beyond fixed categories and to experiment with genre as a dynamic, porous practice.
