WRITING: Sarah Lawrence College Writing Institute

Image
I'm on SLC's mailing list, so I thought I would post the information: The Writing Institute Non-Credit Courses for Adults The Writing Institute offers adults the opportunity to improve their skills and become part of a community of writers. Classes are small (14 or fewer students) and employ the workshop method. Through interaction with a skilled and sensitive faculty and with other adults for whom the art of writing well is important, participants become more proficient at thinking precisely, hearing language clearly and expressing themselves effectively. The Writing Institute offers classes in two 11-week terms, one in the fall and one in the spring. Workshops meet weekly in two-hour sessions, which are held during day and evening hours and on Saturdays. Occasionally, readings and special programs related to publishing or other topics of interest to writers are offered. Every term at the Writing Institute includes workshops in poetry, fiction, nonfiction, memoir writing, an...

NEWS FLASH! Attention all single ladies, and women in relationships - He’s Gone…You’re Back by Kerika Fields is truth telling, inspirational guide for women on the path toward healing from unsatisfying, painful, and toxic relationships. Fields, a writer and photojournalist, reveals her personal experience with healing from break-ups. She advises women to release the habit of being a “Queen of Denial” in an unhealthy relationship. Instead, Fields asks women to turn inward and pamper themselves mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually. Fields tells women how to recognize when you have had enough in a bad relationship. She also advises women to seek support from friends and loved ones during a break up period. Fields recommends putting as much energy as you can into yourself, your goals and dreams once a relationship is over. He’s Gone…You’re Back also features an inspirational recommended play list of songs, natural foods recipes and a reading list.

"Angela's Mixtape" is a must see hip hop play!

Eisa Davis has become one of my Supersheros! She's now in the same category of high genius art and inspiration for us emerging women artists, as Suzan Lori Parks, another creative sista I deeply admire. Eisa is an accomplished playwright, actress, poet and singer/songwriter. Her latest play "Angela's Mixtape" is a memoir, which in its genius, blends her perspective of life growing up as a post-civil rights/hip hop music loving/braniac girl, her thoughts on the meaning of her aunt's life (Angela Davis), and all that young Eisa aspires to be despite her family's criticism. I loved the play, which I saw this past Saturday night. It is running at the Ohio Theater until early May, featuring Eisa Davis and a full cast of actresses playing Eisa's family members (including Angela Davis). "Angela's Mixtape" is produced by the Hip Hop Theater Festival . You'll love the music featured in the play - a mix of 70's soul, 80's pop/rock a...
