KEYSTROKE - NEW WRITING FOR NEW MEDIA

workshop 17 - 19 September 1999 and programme for '99/2000

Keystroke is an opportunity for writers using new media to build their
skills and their expertise. Keystroke is a development programme:
part-training, part-tutorial and part -workshop.
Keystroke is presented by DA2, the Digital Arts Development Agency in
association with trAce Online Writing Community.

Keystroke is a chance to explore how a new wave of writers are working
online and with other forms of digital media; for writers using this
medium, it is an opportunity to exchange information and develop work in a
critical context.

Keystroke commences with a public seminar (Friday 17 September) and an
immersion weekend workshop (Saturday 18 - Sunday 19 September) that brings
together writers and digital media trainers, focusing on web based work.
Three additional weekend sessions will be held in Bristol (UK) with
additional online activity between October 1999 and February 2000.

The initial workshop will be led by Sue Thomas of trAce, with tutored
sessions led by Bernard Cohen (Australia), Helen Whitehead (UK) and Christy
Sheffield Sanford (US). Issues addressed during the workshop and public
talk include:
- transferring from paper to the web;
- copyright issues for writers;
- outreach work involving teachers and libraries
- using software designed for writers.

Subsequent workshops will be held in November, January and February and
will each feature seminar presentations by leading new media writers about
their practice and continue support the development of work by group
members.
