Black Ven Poetry Club Workshop
 Six monthly live poetry workshops
exploring ways of harnessing creativity to write poems, speak poems, and
connect with the nature and elements outside. Anyone who is
interested in how to develop ideas into poetry on the page, and on the
stage. Join us if you’re interested in thinking about language,
articulation, story, speaking out and how. The workshops are aimed at
poets, dreamers and thinkers. All abilities welcome. The workshops
will involve: - Introducing
themes to engage with nature and develop tools to write with, plus broad
guidance and discussion about different approaches to composition and
style; Readings
of relevant literature, and poetry; Deep
Listening and meditation; A
15-minute outdoor learning observation exercise (outside and in silence);
Sharing our experiences from our 15 minutes and finding threads to work
into;
Guest teachings on how to stand up and offer
your poems to others from theatre performance, music and acting
specialists to teach breathing, physicality, microphone technique and
voice control using basic exercises. You will probably not come away
with a poem or finished piece at the end of the workshop, but tools to
work with between the sessions. You may find that the teachings allow
release for new thinking in other areas, or being able to tap into
creativity more deeply in any artform. Price: £10 or £6 if you are a
regular face at the local Apothecary or Vittals & Verse open
mic poetry nights. 12 - 2pm Marine Theatre Bar, Marine

Get Fossiling on the Jurassic Coast! Join one of Lyme Regis Museum’s famous fossil walks along this historic stretch of
Dorset coast with Geologist Paddy Howe and Marine Biologist Chris Andrew. Some families return time and again to search with Paddy and Chris among the sand and rocks for fossils that have been washed down onto the beach after 190 million years. For adults and children alike, it’s an unforgettable experience.
Meet at 
the houses in which Jane is said to have stayed and hear stories of Lyme Regis as she would have known it. See where Louisa Musgrove fell on the Cobb.'
