Gigs Ahoy! I’ll be participating in several readings over the next few weeks. I’ll have manuscript versions of Pig War & Other Songs of Cascadia and other merch.
The Four Hoarse Men
Saturday, March 7th, 2-6P at the Cornish Blackbox Theater, 201 W. Mercer at Seattle Center, I’ll be with the other members of the Four Hoarse Men, a sound poetry group, involved in Post Disciplinary Texts, an incubation collaboration with sound, movement and other artists.
Curated by Julia Greenway and Jessica Hoffman, the Cornish Playhouse Arts Incubator residency is designed to encourage artistic risk-taking by supporting artists in the creation of work that is outside the boundaries of their usual genre, discipline or comfort zone.
The theater is one block west of the corner of Mercer and 2nd Av W and downstairs and to the right. Hard to find, but this won’t be dull.
