Feedback form is now closed.
As writers we strive to create work that matters––whether by protesting wrongs, sounding alarms, or piecing together shards of our shattered world in mosaics of crazy beauty. How can immersing ourselves in other art forms support this goal? Five writers will share work that engages with performance-based artists and/or practices, from postmodern dance to innovative theater to sound work to performance art. Following the presentations, panelists will participate in an open forum, discussing the risks, challenges, and pleasures of this investigation and exploring how it stretches their self-definition and supports or shifts their goals for their art.
