Haiku Workshop

A haiku is a traditional form of Japanese minimalist poetry that originated over five hundred years ago, consisting of a single, unrhymed stanza that captures a fleeting moment in nature.

The students will learn about the rich history and basic rules of the playful, precious haiku poetry, and are eventually invited to write a haiku about freedom themselves.

The framework of the haiku, which is quite strict, creates poetic richness and stimulates ingenuity. This gives possible rise to creative liberty.  

The workshop will be held by Dutch theatre director and creator Marijn Graven.

This event will be held in English.
