Intensive Workshops
Sep 06, 2025, 12:30 PM – 4:30 PMZoomWhat do we lose when we write neat, lucid poems about incomprehensible experiences such as mental illness or war? In this 4-hour generative workshop, we will turn to Surrealist poets, feminist Korean poets in translation, Federico García Lorca, Bhanu Kapil, and others for answers.

Sat, Sep 27Sep 27, 2025, 2:00 PM – 4:00 PMZoomIn this workshop, we’ll look at several scenes to analyze the playwrights’ creation of characters through the words spoken by those characters. Then participants in the class will create two characters of their own, using only dialogue to suggest their identities and personalities.

Wed, Sep 03Sep 03, 2025, 6:00 PM – 8:00 PMZoomMemoir always examines one person’s life and memories, but it can also open onto history, philosophy, and cultural issues.

Thu, Sep 04Sep 04, 2025, 9:30 AM – 11:30 AMZoomWhether writing in a garret, ivory tower, pandemic lockdown or a fever pitch of blind faith, at some point writers need a hothouse workshop environment in which to appraise and develop their work. Participants will test chapters or extracts from their novels and memoirs or short stories and essays.
Sep 08, 2025, 6:30 PM – 8:30 PMZoomThe best plays are created when we excavate our brains and write honestly about the wild things we find there. In this workshop, I will lead you through a series of exercises--list making, free writing, and world building--until you you find yourself writing the play that only you can write.
Sep 25, 2025, 6:00 PM – 8:00 PMZoomThe course will combine technique, dissecting craft approaches behind the work of other poets and writers, writing time, and the time to share work. In writing our own ecopoems and climate-driven pieces, breaking genres, we will reimagine our roles in the current climate crisis via creative writing.
Wed, Oct 08Oct 08, 2025, 6:30 PM – 8:30 PMZoomHow do we connect to the present moment, or even the future, through playwriting? Why is it that some plays seem timeless while others are forgotten? By mining the subconscious and using all parts of our storytelling brain, scenes, monologues, characters, and settings emerge.
Thu, Oct 09Oct 09, 2025, 6:30 PM – 8:30 PMZoomParticipants are inspired to reflect back and view life experiences in new ways to write personal stories on different topics each week. Author and writing teacher, Kim Kovach, brings fun, fresh ideas to turn personal memories and life events into interesting narrative nonfiction stories.
