Bricolage is a term that refers to the practice of creating or constructing something using whatever materials or resources are readily available. It is a form of DIY (do-it-yourself) where individuals use their creativity and resourcefulness to repurpose or combine different objects to create something new and unique. Bricolage can be seen in various fields such as art, design, and even in everyday life.
By embracing the concept of bricolage, workshop participants will tap into their creativity and intuition, allowing for a more organic and genuine expression of their thoughts and ideas.
Workshop participants will engage in the practice of bricolage through a series of short writing exercises to cultivate their unique writing voice, leading to more authentic and engaging storytelling.
