Go Out On a Limb and Write From Your Leg

GO OUT ON A LIMB AND WRITE FROM YOUR LEG

A 4-Week Experimental Writing Class at The Lab on Santa Fe

Classes Recurring: 4/1, 4/15, 4/22, 4/29 (No class on 4/8)

In this class, we shift attention away from “good writing” and toward felt writing—language that begins in the leg, the spine, the gut, the jaw. Writing that limps, jolts, drags, pulses.

We’ll work with:

• irregular rhythm
• body scans that move in unexpected directions
• impulses instead of ideas
• sentences that arrive before meaning

This is not about polishing.

This is about catching something in motion before it disappears.

You may find yourself writing:

a sentence that stutters

a paragraph that sprints

a thought that collapses halfway through and becomes something else entirely

Good.

We’ll stay with that.

Each session includes guided prompts, live writing, optional sharing, and a space to track where the writing actually comes from—not conceptually, but physically.

No experience needed.

Know what’s Happening Next — before everyone else does.
