De Schrijfclub

De Schrijfclub is a place where RITCS students and staff can experiment with all kinds of forms and materials after lessons by writing. Within the sessions of the Writing Club, we undertake all kinds of playful writing experiments within a defined time. The assignments are accessible, but challenge us to try something new every time. From tape poems, to post-it essays, to something that doesn't have a name yet… De Schrijfclub is not a lesson. Writing is done without judgment, writing pleasure is paramount, and it's about making contact with your personal writing voice. And if we discover a new literary form or start a new literary movement along the way, that's a nice bonus. Language: The sessions are generally guided in Dutch. With a mix of interaction languages among participants, the session is guided in English, but everyone can write in the language of their own preference. Guidance: The sessions are guided by Pieter Delfosse, writer and teacher at the Writing Training of the RITCS. This activity is part of the research Writing Queerly: Developing a personal writing voice by breaking the rules while playing, by Pieter Delfosse.
