3 COMPONENTS OF THE ANEW WRITING PROGRAM


The Modules

The month-long online modules focus on engagement with writers and their work and influences. Each module focuses on a theme: Contemporary Indian Writing, Translation, Eco-poetics, Building a Manuscript, Poetry and History, P erformance and Digital Poetics, and include curated reading, viewing and listening material, Skype meetings and Google hangouts, along with weekly writing assignments.

The Residency

The Residency happens after students have taken all the modules and before they submit their thesis. Between Dec-Jan, students and faculty members will travel across India, giving readings, and attending workshops, while creating a first draft of a portfolio based on writing exercises from the modules.

We hope to start the first residency in late 2017, during which we will visit Delhi, Khajuraho, Bhubaneshwar, Bangalore and Mumbai.

The Portfolio

In a way, the portfolio is what the entire program revolves aroundhelping students create new work, while introducing them to the work of writers who are using language in new ways, pushing the boundaries of what language can do.

Students are required to submit a manuscript of approximately 30-45 pages at the end of the program.
