FreeWritingWorkshop with vintage typewriters

„Free Writing Machines“ is a Berlin-based project that offers writing sessions with vintage typewriters. Using these devices, one must slow down, be present, and concentrate. They help you create without distractions or suggestions from a screen.

Blank paper is provided for free-writing. There are also pages with prompts to get you started.

One typewriter is set up to create a collaborative poem, where each person writes one line, but you can only read the previous line of the poem, and not from the start of the poem.

Come between 16 and 18 for a tutorial on how to use a typewriter and tips for typing technique.

These machines are mechanical and sonic, and so can be played as musical instruments. At 19:00, we will make an improvised percussive performance together.
