Hi, thanks for all your kind responses to my recent note. I feel heartened by your hope and determination.
I’ve gotten a lot of requests to link directly to the course I’m teaching on Creative Practice, so here it is: https://myfivethings.com/series/five-things-ive-learned-about-maintaining-a-creative-practice-in-the-chaos/
The classes with be with me (March 11th), Amber Tamblin (March 18th), Victoria Change (March 25th), Ingrid Rojas Contreras (April 8th), Daniel Handler (April 22nd), and Maggie Smith (May 6th). Each class will be two hours, on line, and you can register for individual sessions or the whole dang thing.
Also, thank you so much to those of you who have joined with paid subscriptions. Your support allows me to carve out a little more time for creative pursuits amid all the obligations. I feel so fortunate for your support, and will be in touch with each of you soon, to thank you and also to see if I can send you anything (book, broadside, macrame version of the Sistine Chapel ceiling, lock of Vasko Papa’s hair, etc.) to express my gratitude in a more material way.
Finally, for locals who want to come see the Date Nights play, we’ll be at Cato’s Ale House a week from this Sunday, March 2nd, starting around 6 or so until 8:30, and then playing a benefit show for programs that support neurodiverse kids on Friday, March 28th. You can get tickets for that here: https://piedmontstore.org/products/pie-piedmonters-for-inclusive-education-copy?variant=44904459272391
Thanks, and more soon. I hope you’re all doing ok.
