WRITING

As a writer, Sara Porter creates works of fiction, non-fiction, dance reviews, dance history, biography, poetry and songs. Her background in academia and arts journalism brings a wealth of experience to her writing work and coaching.

Sara works as a consultant to artists (and others) in grant-writing, generating creative text for stage shows, as a teacher in Memoir & Movement, and founder of The Bad Poetry Drinking Group. 

The Bad Poetry Drinking Group

poems need people

& people need poems

drinks need glasses

to feel at hoem

An online group for sharing original poetry in a safe and supportive community. Created during the pandemic lockdown as a way to stay creative and connected - and lift our spirits - through making and sharing our amateur home-made poems. The group accepts anyone who adheres to the rules of respect that help keep us feeling safe in the vulnerable practice of revealing our tender poetic selves. 

We put the 'am' back in amateur. As in, I 'am' writing a poem.

DANCING INTO MY FUTURE

 
“Dancing into my future:

How I learned, at 50,

to embrace becoming

an 'older' dancer.”
