Centre for Stories
Cass Lynch is a Koreng Wudjari Noongar woman and is descended from the families of Ravensthorpe in the Great Southern region. She is a writer and Research Fellow and has a PhD in Creative Writing that explores Noongar stories that reference climate change.
This workshop creates a space to explore the different kinds of characters that can come together to express different dimensions of a plot, as well as how exploring with new characters can draw out ideas and meaning in the early phases of drafting. You will have time in the workshop to sketch out characters for a new or existing story.
This workshop was sponsored by Spinifex Foundation.
