Creative Writing & Performance Workshop:

Participants of all artistic backgrounds and disciplines are invited to join us for a guided creative workshop facilitated by performance artist Alok Vaid-Menon.

Alok will guide participants through a series of exercises to take participants from the page to the stage and back again. With an emphasis on trauma, sexuality, legacy, embodiment, and gender we will work together to create art that is both meaningful and impactful. We will begin by creating original written work and then focus on refining performance techniques.

Poetry Performance

What feminine part of yourself did you have to destroy in order to survive in this world? At what point does femininity become synonymous with apology? Who hurt the people who hurt you?

Let's figure it out. Join for a night of poetry, comedy, and performance.
