Twine is an open-source tool for making interactive, nonlinear stories, games and poems. A digital poem made in Twine resists singular or static ways of being read; it contains multitudes — and has the potential to change the way you draft.
In this workshop, you will learn basic coding for Twine in order to explore the possibilities of choose-your-own-adventure poems.
By the end of this workshop you will be able to:
Create interactive hypertext
Use basic code in Twine (Harlowe)
Draft an interactive digital poem and host it online
What you need to participate:
Zoom and a reliable Internet connection
This workshop is suitable for:
all poetry experience levels
Twine (and coding) beginners
Ticketing:
This workshop will run twice, so please choose the date that suits you.
