School Workshops at The Ark: ‘Dinosaur Pie’ Creative Writing
Dinosaur Pie Creative Writing Schools Workshop with author Jen Wallace at the Ark
The Ark, Dublin
Dates: 7 – 9 November 2024
Come along to The Ark, Dublin and enjoy a fun-filled creative imagination workshop with author and facilitator Jen Wallace inspired by her hilarious new book Dinosaur Pie.
In the book, there’s a boy called Rory. He and his mum have ADHD, but the book isn’t about that. It’s about way weirder stuff like being turned into a ridiculous little dinosaur and still having to go to school. It’s about not eating your friends and taking lots of selfies and having huge claws that make gaming difficult. It’s about friendship and family and coping when things get tough.
In the workshop, you’ll get to think about some of Rory’s adventures. Then we can explore together how to:
- Start an imagination explosion.
- Release awesome ideas.
- Create our own characters.
- Build amazing worlds.
- Use curiosity to weave stories.
