Writing Workshops with Duane Roen

Reflections on Courage in Our Lives

Family history writing.

I developed this workshop immediately after seeing a Theater of War production of Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen’s 1882 play Enemy of the People. I had read the play decades earlier in high school, and it had made me reflect on the nature of courage. However, when I saw the production in February 2024, my emotional response was so strong that I spent the rest of the evening reading about the topic and drafting questions for discussion and writing. In this workshop we will reflect on our thoughts about courage and our experiences with courage.

REGISTRATION: Required.
