Join writer/filmmaker Bojana Babić for a creative writing workshop that explores how everyday observations can become the foundation for compelling stories. Through a guided walk along the Tett's waterfront, participants will gather inspiration from the people, movement, conversations, architecture, and small moments that often go unnoticed. Using a series of observation and writing prompts, participants will transform these details into the beginnings of a scene or narrative, exploring how setting, character, atmosphere, and moments of tension emerge from lived experience. This workshop invites participants to slow down, observe closely, and discover the storytelling potential in the world around them. No previous writing experience is necessary—just bring your curiosity and a willingness to experiment. Participants will leave with a collection of observations and the foundations of a short scene or story they can continue developing after the workshop.

About
Creative Connections Lab is a free, inclusive, and accessible program offering arts experiences for adults (18+), with a focus on increasing access for individuals who face barriers to participating in the arts and opportunities for social connection. Through a series of interdisciplinary, artist-led workshops, participants engage with multiple art forms — such as visual arts, movement, music, and storytelling — while exploring self-expression, reducing social isolation, and fostering meaningful community connection. Second-language translation and ASL interpretation are available to support accessibility.
This program is generously funded by a Seed grant from the Ontario Trillium Foundation.
