Have you ever wondered if animals have feelings? Why the eyes of your porcelain doll seem to follow you wherever you go? What the final words of a sinking ship or rotting fruit might be if they only had a voice to tell you? In this generative workshop, participants will study various examples of flash that give voice to the often-silent characters in our lives, from animals to objects. Attendees will also receive prompts based on the examples provided and given time to write.
