Doris Dörrie

  • Live, write, breathe.
  • A writing workshop
  • Literature, Workshop

Doris Dörrie’s writing workshops are legendary – in part because they encourage people to start writing in the first place.

“Writing means breathing in the world.” For Doris Dörrie, writing is a way of living more intensely. To really see what is before our eyes. Or to rediscover what we have lost or forgotten. It is consolation, self-assurance, indictment, celebration of life. The great author and director invites us to share the happiness of daily writing with her: Just to write away, about one’s own life, whistling at shame, fear, self-doubt and spelling rules.
