Experimental Practice - single module

Three good reasons to study Experimental Practice at Salford:

You will explore the exciting history of experimental writing
You will experiment with your own creative practice and develop your range as a writer
Based at MediaCityUK.

This module gives you an overview of the history of experimental writing over the last 60 years with a practical emphasis on trying out new techniques to extend your range as a writer. We’ll look at the writers of OULIPO – the ‘workshop for potential literature’ – who use mathematical rules and constraints in writing; trans-genre and hybrid texts which work on the edges of biography, autobiography and history; the North American Language Poetry movement’s use of the ‘new sentence’; Visual Text, Sound and Concrete Poetry, and other fascinating areas of experimental activity.

This course can be studied alone or as part of the MA Creative Writing.
