Zuihitsu: Devising Theatre Through Poetry with Michael Curran-Dorsano
About this Event
Zuihitsu roughly translates to “follow the brush”. True to its name, it’s a Japanese style of writing that uses prose, poetry, images, fragments and found writing in a flowing, creative, and non-traditional way. In this one day intensive will explore creating a living script that can pull from many mediums, and leaves room for artists to play, develop and interpret.

His poetry has been published in journals such as Vox Galvia, Pendemic.ie, Smashing Times, and Spellweaver, and his debut collection Where The Dead Poets Sing will be released in February, 2026 with Wayfarer Books.
