HYPATIA WOMAN
OF THE MONTH

November 2024 - Bridget Crowley - Dancer, Teacher, Author

Back in April this year, Bridget gave a talk at entitled “Whatever Next..?” sharing her very full and varied life, taking us through her "desert island discs" and memories of her extraordinary life in the arts. So it’s only natural for us to celebrate her publicly in this way!

We asked Bridget which women inspire her:

“The many women I work amongst, who achieve things quietly and without a fuss are an inspiration, especially when they share my sense of humour. I believe in fun to help the learning along.”

Read more about Bridget in our full interview.

Where to Start?
A Creative Writing Workshop
with Gail Owen

Tuesday 3rd December, 5pm

Stories surround us. We grow up with stories. We instinctively know what a story is; and yet, no matter how compelling our urge to write one may be, often the hardest thing is simply knowing where to start.

This two-hour creative writing workshop will unpack that storytelling instinct, taking a practical look at ways of thinking about a main character's obstacles and needs, and how to use those needs to develop storyline.

Whether you're a first time writer or looking to reinvigorate a long-term project, this friendly, supportive workshop will provide inspiration for your novel, short story or novella. Join us; it'll be really fun! Please bring a notepad and pen.
