Writing Workshop: Write about sports and the body

About the WorkshopAt this workshop, we use sports and the body as a starting point for writing fiction. We explore how sport can unfold poetically and literarily, and we consider the sensations and experiences of the body to be significant.

You don't need to have any special sports experience to join the writing workshop, just once you've had a ball in your hand or by your foot.

About the educator Maja Lucas is the author of a number of fiction books, most recently 'Tennis Poems' (2026). She is also a PhD in literary science.

Practical InfoWriting Workshop is aimed at adults.Participation is free, but requires registration at Billetto.We do not provide computers, so bring your own and/or paper and pen. There is very limited table space, so you probably have to sit with the computer/paper in your lap.We offer a writing pad that you can have as a base for your block/paper.There is a water post and a coffee machine in the library, but in addition we cannot offer provisions. Bring a water can or a bottle for water.Find wayWriting The workshop takes place in the Othello room at Christianshavn's Main Library. From the entrance you can find Othello as follows: follow the wall on your right hand into the library room itself and turn around the first corner. Othello is located as a side room to the library room, but can easily be seen if you continue to follow the right wall.

Writing WorkshopsEvery month, Copenhagen Libraries invites you to writing workshops all over the city. The themes and trainers vary. Our writing workshops are not workshops, but stand-alone workshops of two hours in which lecturers give presentations and give participants writing exercises.
