SUMMARY:Workshop: Talking Back to the Voices in Our Heads: Building Confidence as Writers
DESCRIPTION:Many writers have an inner critic who loves to point out everything they’re doing wrong\, making it hard to write. This workshop\, co-led by creative coach Emily Mure and novelist Nancy Holzner\, features exercises to keep your inner critic from blocking your writing. We’ll start by interrogating the critic to find out where that voice originates. Then\, we’ll invite another voice to come forward—someone who believed in or encouraged you in some area of your life. We’ll develop this champion’s voice to make it as strong as the critic’s. Finally\, we’ll write a scene that puts the critic and the champion in dialogue. These voices in our heads are characters we create. And as writers\, we know how to work with characters! By understanding our inner critic and listening to our champion\, we can learn how to enlist their aid to help our writing\, rather than block it. Sincere thanks to our supporters and sponsors.

SUMMARY:Undressed: The Musical
DESCRIPTION:In Undressed: the Musical\, YOUR embarrassing story gets turned into an hour-long musical right before your eyes by a cast of veteran performers (including local Ithaca artist Ilan Kaplan) wearing nothing but their underwear. One lucky audience member with the most interesting embarrassing moment gets chosen by audience vote to get up on stage and share their story. Then\, the cast and band make up an entire Broadway-style musical\, spontaneously creating every single note\, dance\, and line of dialogue on the spot. Oh\, and did we mention that the cast is wearing nothing but their underwear? \nWhy are we in our underwear? Undressed is a show about stripping away our insecurities and living in the vulnerable. Our performances are always as raw and funny as they are unique\, and our audiences are the best and most supportive in the world. Undressed isn’t just a comedy show\, but an experience that will leave you feeling more connected to yourself and your community. \nThis set of shows features several local Ithaca musicians\, making up songs alongside the touring cast. These include Adara Alston\, Matthew Ocone\, Jesse Gottlieb\, and some more surprise guests!

SUMMARY:Ms. Holmes & Ms. Watson\, Apt. 2B
DESCRIPTION:A clever\, comedic\, contemporary take on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s famous sleuth and sidekick duo by Lansing-born Ithaca College alumna Kate Hamill. This fast-paced re-telling of the world’s most famous detective story brings oddball female roommates Sherlock Holmes & Joan Watson together as they join forces to solve outlandish cases in post-pandemic London. The two create a dynamic duo–solving mysteries and outwitting masterminds–until they come face to face with a villain who seems to have all of the answers. \n“A witty\, intelligent farce with just enough slapstick to keep you from taking things too seriously…the perfect antidote to a stressful day and a guaranteed laugh.”\n—WRPO\, Providence\, Rhode Island \nSaturday\, July 26 2:30 pm (preview)\nSaturday\, July 26 7:30 pm (opening night)\nSunday\, July 27 2:30 pm\nTuesday\, July 29 7:30 pm\nWednesday\, July 30 7:30 pm\nThursday\, July 31 7:30 pm\nFriday\, August 1 7:30 pm\nSaturday\, August 2 2:30 pm\nSaturday\, August 2 7:30 pm

SUMMARY:Workshop: How to Write Blackout Love Poems
DESCRIPTION:Poet and screenwriter Lee Cotman will guide participants in creating their own “blackout” love poems from a variety of un-romantic source texts (e.g.\, junk mail and meeting minutes). In a blackout poem\, the writer chooses an existing document and obscures all but a few selected words; the remaining words create the poem. This process puts the writer in direct conversation\, not only with the words on the page\, but with the historical context\, power structures\, and biases underlying their chosen text. \nThis workshop will begin with a brief discussion of the form and what makes a blackout poem effective\, with examples by celebrated Black and Indigenous writers. We will then transition into a three-step\, generative writing exercise\, and close with an opportunity to share your draft. Open to writers of all ages and experience levels! See more for sponsors.

SUMMARY:Workshop: Trans/Queer Poetics of Self-Making
DESCRIPTION:How can queer poets use their work to define and redefine themselves? In this 1 hour workshop with Amir McClam\, participants will explore poetry as a queer (non-normative) method of self-creation. Together we will study the work of June Jordan and KB Brookins\, consider what we have to learn from them\, and produce original writing. Through communal discussion\, self-reflection\, and guided prompts\, participants will practice writing their own poems asserting who they are or wish to be. Because the concept of queerness isn’t limited to sexual/romantic orientation or gender identity\, participants do not have to personally identify as LGBTQ+ to find value in this workshop. Participants will have the opportunity to share their work back to the group at the end\, if they so choose. Sincere thanks to our sponsors! See more on our website.
