From Carrie Fertig
Health of the Sublime, a creative arts project supported by Creative Scotland will hold two Open Mics as part of Grampian Wellbeing Festival this Friday at Stonehaven Community Centre and Saturday at Dickson Hall in Laurencekirk.
Through our partnership with Mearns and Coastal Healthy Living Network, Health of the Sublime offers free tuition to folk over 50 in and around Kincardineshire including nature writing and poetry.
That class has been led by poet, artist, and playwright Rebecca Sharp, who will co-host the open mics with project lead artist Carrie Fertig. We welcome you to read your own writing, or that of a beloved author, up to five minutes on the theme of our experience of wellbeing in nature, and if you like, through the lens of climate change.
Or just come and enjoy some beautiful, moving, inspiring writing. No need to book, they’re free, just show up with your empty cup to be filled in a literal and poetic sense.
Friday evening 17th May 6:30-8:30pm Stonehaven Community Centre, Bath Street, Red Room, AB39 2DH
Saturday morning 18th May 10:30am-12:30pm Dickson Memorial Hall, Station Road, Laurencekirk, AB30 1BE
