UPCOMING EVENTS
My next Intro to Creative Nonfiction workshop begins this Sunday, July 26th at 10:30 a.m. PST.
Over five weeks, we'll explore memory, scene, structure, and voice to transform lived experience into compelling creative nonfiction. Whether you're beginning your first essay or returning to a story you've wanted to write for years, you'll leave with new work, fresh insights, and thoughtful feedback in a supportive community.
I'd love to write with you.
San Francisco, join us for an immersive evening of poetry, live music, dance, and experimental film
RED LIGHT LIT
An immersive literary performance where poetry and storytelling meet live music. Featuring original work by Peter Bullen, Vincent Chu, Kimberly Gomes, Sarah Bethe Nelson, Christine No, Alex Valdivia, Preeti Vangani, and composer Nick Jaina, who will perform an original live score and read from his new book, Abrazo, with dancer Eva Vargas.
GROMNICA
A conceptual film by filmmaker Alex Valdivia and choreographer/dancer Lauren Slivosky, with a live score by bassist and composer Janie Cowan. A solitary figure moves through the chaos of the world, drawn toward a somatic ritual that culminates in a live dance performance, blurring the boundary between cinema and stage.
WILDLIFE FREEWAY
Joshua Tree artist Sunny Moon closes the evening with an immersive multimedia performance, pairing original songs with her own evocative music videos to create a dreamlike, cinematic concert experience where music, film, and visual art converge.
