From summer to autumn in words and tunes - part 1 - in Helsinki 5.6.2025
In June, words and melodies will ring out in Suomenlinna Castle.
Welcome to
to play with words, sounds and instruments!
The workshop combines creative writing and music.
Together we explore creativity, joy and expression with gentleness and curiosity.
Annamari Typpö, a trained literary therapist and wordsmith, and a musician and music maker Saaramaija Zorawski will facilitate low-threshold exercises where you can play freely with words and tunes.
We do writing exercises, try out different instruments and let the words grow into melodies.
The whole culminates in a collective poem and an improvised composition based on it.
There will be moments of joy, wonder and the warmth of discovery together.
The workshop is suitable for everyone, and no previous experience in writing or music making is required. Just come with an open mind - and the courage to play. Bring your writing utensils!
