All Things Are Alive: Animating the Inanimate–Puppetry for Writers with Mobi Warren
All Things Are Alive: Animating the Inanimate–Puppetry for Writers with Mobi Warren
Are you looking for a different way to tap into your creativity? Are you ready to experience the curiosity, wonder, and empathy that puppetry naturally inspires? Under the guidance of puppeteer and poet Mobi Warren, workshop participants will build a simple hand puppet from paper mâché and cloth, and breathe life into the personality that emerges. The process may culminate in a poem, a short prose piece, or a monologue puppet script. Participants will be encouraged to sense the livingness in the materials used and to explore unexpected insights that emerge as the puppet acquires form. No puppetry experience is required to attend this workshop, and writers of all levels are welcome.

Literary Movements with Rod Carlos Rodriguez
Literary Movements with Rod Carlos Rodriguez
We'll examine literary movements and their nature-based connections so that we may draw upon them for our own creativity. We'll be in nature’s classroom, the great outdoors! And we'll share and write from the comfort of the Government Canyon Gallery, which provides an enclosed classroom wrapped in windows and a gorgeous 360° view of the surrounding woods. Class participants will use body movement as a source of creativity, find their own corners of nature to sit in and write from, and participate in small group work. Bring a bottle of water and a folding chair!
