Zina Dreams: Writer in residence: Sicily
http://rebecca-hurst.blogspot.com/2014/03/writer-in-residence-sicily.html
Monday, 31 March 2014. Writer in residence: Sicily. March is the right month to escape England’s chilly and rainswept shores. And Sicily is an alluring place for someone who loves food, wine and sunshine almost as much as she loves words AND who happens to be researching the myth of Persephone and Demeter. So this month (or at least part of it) the writer was in residence in Noto, Sicily doing what she has rarely done before: having a holiday. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Zina Dreams: May 2014
http://rebecca-hurst.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
Saturday, 31 May 2014. Writer in residence: in the spotlight. In May I undertook writerly deeds that enticed me away from my desk and out into the spotlight. The world of paper and ink and pencil marks and pen strokes has always consumed me; the barbed Cyrillic alphabet; words, images and ideas. I enjoy watching others perform but never thought I would seek out the spotlight myself. However, last year the Four Quarters. My own Speaking in Code. Was performed by three swell friends: Alison. Manchester, Un...

Tuesday, 21 January 2014. Writer in residence: the dance studio (tango). This year I have decided to appointment myself as the (un)official writer in residence of a number of places I habitually visit. One residency a month, as a way of taking my writer-self out of her room for some fresh air and a change of scenery. For my first residency: the January dance studio. Then our instructor Sofia,.
