MOVING AND WRITING

Workshop

Winslow House Project and Small Press Traffic present a day-long workshop with dance artist/writer Abby Crain and writer/editor David Buuck.

In this full day gathering, Crain and Buuck will offer prompts and practices for moving, writing, sensing, performance, and what arises between. Designed for both writing and dance-based practitioners, we will share sensory, kinesthetic, and imaginative processes with generative prompts and invitations into writing, language, performance/reading, and text. No dance and/or poetry experience required!

The workshop consists of two 2.5 hour sessions with a free catered lunch in between.

Winslow House is a historic landmark in Vallejo, California. The Project offers time & space to the arts.
