FALL 2024
course: Body Poetics
dates: november 24 - december 15, sundays
format: online (zoom)
status: full
Body Poetics is a four week long, open genre writing workshop that explores the connection between the mind-body and writing process by utilizing self-awareness techniques inspired by Proprioceptive Writing, meditation, breathwork, sound healing, and movement. Participants will be guided through various physical and mental exercises aimed at grounding, softening, and opening the self to encourage a more embodied writing practice. Together we will investigate our individual experiences throughout these exercises, challenge ourselves to slow down—or speed up, if desired—and ultimately deepen our relationship to the mind-body at work while writing.
Prior writing experience is not required.
Come to class curious and ready to experiment.

SUMMER 2024
course: Failure as Resistance
dates: july 7 - august 4, sundays
format: in-person (nyc) + zoom
status: n/a
Failure as Resistance is a five week long, peer-led, multi-genre writing workshop exploring failure within the framework of Jack Halberstam’s The Queer Art of Failure. Participants are encouraged to contribute further reading material that aligns with Jack’s musings on “low theory.” Together we will investigate the relationships between these works, discuss our individual experiences with “failure” under capitalism, and respond to writing prompts produced collaboratively. Participants will have designated time to workshop a piece with the group, if desired. Failure as Resistance will conclude with a zine publication of writing generated during the course.
Prior writing experience is not required.
Come to class ready to fail, forget, and fall apart.
