Britain's What's On Event Guide
Schmatte! A writing workshop (Ages 15+)
Play with words and explore personal histories
Join spoken word poet Leah Thorn to explore your personal relationship to the clothing industry through flow-writing, poetry, story-telling and listening exchanges. This fun and moving workshop will support you to creatively express what the clothing industry means to you as a Jewish person and the impact it has had, and continues to have, on your life.
No previous experience of expressive writing is needed, just a willingness to have a go and play with words.
Leah Thorn is a spoken word poet, filmmaker and experienced workshop facilitator. Her award-winning poetry films have been screened at feminist, Jewish, eco and poetry Film Festivals internationally. Leah is the daughter and granddaughter of Jewish tailors and returns to her roots for her latest work. Her campaign ‘a:dress’ uses message-adorned clothing, textile art, poetry, film and Subversive Catwalks to raise awareness about fast fashion’s devastating contribution to the climate crisis.
