Writing + Boxing = Left Write Hook
Writing and boxing are contrasting practices yet for victim-survivors of abuse and gendered violence they offer powerful ways to reclaim voice and agency.
Left Write Hook began at the University of Melbourne as a simple idea grounded in lived experience.
Since then it has grown into a multi-award winning documentary (now streaming on Netflix) a medical research trial a book and a survivor-led national charity.
This interactive session invites you to experience how writing and trauma-informed non-contact boxing can support recovery - without requiring personal disclosure.
Through film creative and simple boxing exercises and reflection we'll explore how survivor-led practice transforms pain into strength.
Participation is open to all bodies and experience levels. Those who wish to watch and learn as spectators are welcome.
