Sometimes the stars seem so close you could almost touch them; sometimes they’re hidden by light pollution. But they’re always them we give them names, we look up to them we navigate by them, we say we’re born under the influence of certain stars, we call our famous personalities “stars”. Rising stars. Falling Stars. Shooting stars. This workshop sets out via several writing exercises to explore our fascination with the stars, including our “earthling stars”, the celebrities.
