SUMMARY:Write Now: A Playwriting Intensive to Jumpstart Your Play
DESCRIPTION:Photo credit: Sabrina Reeves\nThis workshop will give budding and experienced playwrights a forum in which to hear their work read aloud and have it commented on\, supported\, and developed. Limited to 12 participants. \nThis 8-week workshop is designed to get your play out of your head and onto the page. Through a combination of in-class writing exercises and reading scripts aloud\, it will allow playwrights to take their scripts to the next level. \nTopics covered will include: \n\nCharacter development\nStructure\nDialogue\nStakes\nRe-writes.\n\nEach week\, selected participants will bring in sections of their work for feedback. \nThe workshop will be more fun and useful to participants who have a play that they are already working on\, a few scenes\, or at the very least\, an outline of the idea they wish to pursue. It may be of particular interest (and complementary) to those who have taken an Introduction to Playwriting workshop. Participants can expect to come out of the workshop with a more developed script as well as tools for carrying on with their work and some ideas/suggestions of where to go and what to do with a finished draft.

SUMMARY:Indigenous Literatures BookClub: A Mind Spread Out on the Ground
DESCRIPTION:The Indigenous Literatures Book Club focuses on work by indigenous writers from around the world. Hosted by Tara McGowan-Ross\, a Mi’kmaq multidisciplinary artist and writer\, the meetings will take place every 4-6 weeks and are open to all. \nFor our September meeting\, we will gather at La Petite Librairie Drawn & Quarterly (176 Bernard O.) at 7 pm to discuss A Mind Spread Out on the Ground by Alicia Elliott. \nA MIND SPREAD OUT ON THE GROUND\nIn an urgent and visceral work that asks essential questions about the treatment of Native people in North America while drawing on intimate details of her own life and experience with intergenerational trauma\, Alicia Elliott offers indispensable insight into the ongoing legacy of colonialism. She engages with such wide-ranging topics as race\, parenthood\, love\, mental illness\, poverty\, sexual assault\, gentrifcation\, writing and representation\, and in the process makes connections both large and small between the past and present\, the personal and political—from overcoming a years-long battle with head lice to the way Native writers are treated within the Canadian literary industry; her unplanned teenage pregnancy to the history of dark matter and how it relates to racism in the court system; her childhood diet of Kraft Dinner to how systemic oppression is directly linked to health problems in Native communities. \nWith deep consideration and searing prose\, Elliott provides a candid look at our past\, an illuminating portrait of our present and a powerful tool for a better future. \n**We offer a 20% discount on A Mind Spread Out on the Ground from now until the meeting date.**
