A Breakfast & Creative Writing workshop at Tullos Community Centre.
This workshop was part of the GO TORRY day of workshops and activities, including the launch of the new outdoor classroom in St Fittick’s Park.
Coming from Torry and across Aberdeen to explore the responses to Torry. We used two methods of writing: A collective Poem writing game called Exquisite Corpse where each person could write a line each, and free writing to explore the prompts provided.
We came from many places, and were of many ages, Torry residents, people of Aberdeen Ethnic Minority Women’s Group, Friends of St Fitticks Park, Friends of the Earth Scotland, and NESCAN.
We responded to prompts about Torry, whether we lived there all our lives, or were visiting for the first time.
We collaged images of home.
This is a collection of poetry, writing and images created by people in the workshop to explore what Torry means to them.
We hope you enjoy it.
With thanks to:
All contributors to the workshop and zine, especially Aberdeen Ethn
