RAT Erik Ehn's Workshop Suggestions

[Cat Hebert <virtualdrama@juno.com>]

Somehow we missed seeing these suggestions from Erik. I present them
unedited:

>From Erik via Gaby through Cat
Laurie Carlos wants to come, and Sharon Bridgforth.  Both are extremely
>gifted poet/theater artists; Zell Miller (knows them both) also wants to
>come - he's a hip-hop playwirght, and a session on hip-hop would be
>terriffic.  A suggestion: a day (or thread on a day) featuring text,
>movement and the movement - how textual responses to notating for the
body
>influence community. Leah could anchor punk and zines, Zel could do
hip-hop,
>Laurie, Sharon and Daniel Jones (if I can get him to come) could do
spoken
>word/dance; include Grisha Coleman. I'd ask each keynoter to consider
where
>the words come from, where they go (how they move from text to
performance),
>what community they see themselves as coming from, and where and how
they
>see their communites moving forward. The sessions could be lecture/demos
>(readings) with an interactive component (writing, q/a). Separately -
I'm
>interested in Can-do Spanish Mysticism - Teresa, John of the Cross,
Lorca
>and the seven steps to heaven. We'd work through St. Teresa's idea of
the
>Interior Castle, with examples from music, and exercises for writers (3
>hrs.).
>
>     Also a big piece of paper where people can write down what they
think
>rat is, with you moderating a summary and discussion of the responses at
the
>end of the conference.
