Taller de escritura creativa. Martes

Taller de escritura creativa. Martes

Tue, Aug 4, 4:30 PM
From Asociación Barcelona Escribe
4.9

¡Bienvenido a nuestro **taller de relato corto** de los martes! No importa si tienes experiencia o si acabas de empezar. Todo lo que necesitas es algo para escribir y ganas de pasar un rato agradable compartiendo tu pasión por la escritura. El moderador plantea una consigna y da entre 20 y 30 minutos con el objetivo de que estructures un relato (poema, reflexión, ensayo...). Después cada participante lee su texto en voz alta y lo comentamos entre todos. Una manera divertida de mantener en forma el «músculo» creativo y de encontrar tu propia voz literaria, mientras aprendemos unos de otros. Taquilla inversa, según satisfacción. Los beneficios son para ayudar al mantenimiento de la asociación.

Gypsy Lounge Open Mic @BackStory Bookshop

Sat, Sep 26, 4:00 PM
From Gypsy Lounge
4.7

**Saturday, September 26th at 18:00.** Welcome to another wonderful event at [Backstory] Bookshop, celebrating poetry, storytelling, and music! 🎙️Gypsy Lounge is a monthly open mic and a celebration of diversity, creativity, and connection. Whether you’re eager to share your latest work or simply soak up the atmosphere of artistic expression, Gypsy Lounge is your space. Artist sign-ups will take place on the evening of the event, so just come by at around 17:45 if you'd like to share. The first 8 artists will get to sign up, and each will have around 6-7 minutes to share their work. Performance slots are limited, so please come early. Also, this event is not managed by BackStory, so if you have any questions, please DM @gypsy_loungebcn on Instagram. A gentle reminder for attendees: The beauty of an open mic is the unpredictability of content. As we do not moderate performer choices, some material may be best suited for adult ears. Those attending with children, please keep this in mind. **Sign-ups:** On arrival, on a first-come basis.

Writing Quick and Dirty

Writing Quick and Dirty

Sat, Aug 22, 9:00 AM
From Charcha Cultural Cafe
4.9

This meetup is for anyone—anyone at all—who enjoys playing around with words. You’ll be given a prompt (usually one word, such as “playground” or “shiver”) and time to express yourself in writing in response to it. Anything goes: prose, poetry, lists, letters, lyrics; any form which calls to you and demands expression. After we have finished writing, you will be invited to share your piece with the group (totally optional, but the feedback can be fun). The feedback (this is the only part with rules): Responses should be in the form of what stayed with you, what you remembered from the piece, what resonated with you. This is NOT a writing or craft class; there is no good or bad here. Critiques or suggestions miss the point. This is new, tender writing, and we honor it as such. All writing is considered fictional. This is liberating for the writer, as you are free to write about literally anything and it will never be considered to be “about you.” The first person is always just a character. Please bring your own writing equipment. It is helpful to come on time so you can hear the prompt and have enough time to write. Please buy a drink or snack from Charcha, our generous host.

Creative Connections Barcelona

Creative Connections Barcelona

Thu, Aug 6, 5:00 PM
From Barcelona Creators Club

Welcome to the very first event by Barcelona Creators Club! If you're a photographer, filmmaker, designer, artist, musician, content creator —or simply someone who enjoys the creative world—come join us for a relaxed afternoon in Parc de la Ciutadella. Bring a coffee, a camera, a sketchbook, your latest project—or just yourself. We'll spend a couple of hours chatting, sharing ideas, talking about Barcelona, creativity, photography, film, travel, business, and whatever else comes up naturally. Maybe you'll meet your next collaborator. Maybe you'll discover a new idea. Maybe you'll just make a few new friends. If people feel inspired, we can also take a walk through the park, make a few portraits, shoot some videos or simply explore together. Nothing is planned or expected—let's keep it spontaneous. This is the beginning of a community, and I'd love your ideas about what it could become. Looking forward to meeting you! Who is this for? 📸 Photographers 🎥 Videographers & filmmakers 🎨 Designers & artists 🎭 Actors & performers 🎵 Musicians 💡 Entrepreneurs & content creators 🌿 Anyone curious about creativity No experience required.
