sergio barrios
Daily Creator, Sergio Barrios, is a very talented designer working in NYC. He just sent me photos of his newest dresses and I thought they were so beautiful I wanted to put them up for everyone to see.
update on me
Remember that book proposal from last July? Well, finally, almost a year to the day later - we have a publisher meeting! I’ll be in NYC the week of July 9th and busy with publisher and publicity meetings as we negotiate moving the book forward toward publication in 2008. It’s hard to believe it’s been a year since I was last in NY.I would love to meet up with my NY friends while in town. Shoot me an email and let me know if you're there that week.
Tisch West is wrapping up a full year of LA programming and I will be stepping down as the Chair in July. We accomplished a lot and I’m proud of everything we made happen. I’m actually looking forward to attending a Tisch West event because I want to and not because I’m running it!
I’m most excited about my new TV show, THE WIDOWS, which is a one-hour drama set in the coal fields of WV. A recent group of widows have to deal with the Hollywood invasion after the highly publicized deaths of their husbands in a mining accident. CAA has come on to rep the project. Fox and CBS are interested and I am totally excited about it. I am hoping we will be able to shoot in WV in the Fall – we just have to find our buyer and connect talent but I feel confident that this script will find it’s home. It would really be a dream come true to be able to write in my OWN voice for my OWN show and be able to reach a national audience.
My new play, HOW CISSY GREW, had a well-attended reading in May and it looks like the show is moving toward production. We are hoping to keep the production out here in LA so we can keep our wonderful cast attached.
That's what is doing out here in LA - shoot me an email and let me know what you're up to.

arts writers grant
The Creative Capital Andy Warhol Foundation Arts Writers Grant is a three-year pilot program designed to support writers whose work addresses contemporary visual art through project-based grants issued directly to individual authors. The first program of its type, it was founded in recognition of both the financially precarious situation of arts writers and their indispensable contribution to a vital artistic culture.For information on the 2006 grantees click here.
In its first year, the Arts Writers Grant Program issued awards for books, articles, and experiments in new and alternative media. This round, it introduces a new grant category for short-form writing (texts of 1,000 words or less). In addition, the program seeks an increased engagement in the coming grant round with article-based projects and with art of the current moment. Of particular interest are articles that identify and explore pressing issues in the contemporary visual arts. Also of interest are texts that illuminate the value contemporary art holds for all viewers through its ability to complicate and enrich our understanding of our world and ourselves and to offer a space of freedom from and critical engagement with prevailing norms.
Through all its grants, regardless of topic or category type, the Arts Writers Grant Program aims to honor and encourage:
Writing about art that is rigorous, passionate, eloquent and precise
Writing about art in which a keen engagement with the present is infused with an appreciation of the historical
Writing about art that is neither afraid to take a stand, nor content to deliver authoritative pronouncements, but serves rather to pose questions and to generate new possibilities for thinking, seeing, and making
Writing about art that is sensitive to both the importance and difficulty of situating aesthetic objects within their broader social and political contexts
Writing about art that does not dilute or sidestep complex ideas but renders accessible their meaning and value
Writing about art that challenges creatively the limits of existing conventions, without valorizing novelty as an end in itself
The Creative Capital Andy Warhol Foundation Arts Writers Grant is spearheaded by The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts as part of its broader Arts Writing Initiative and administered by Creative Capital.

voice and vision retreat in ny
Voice & Vision is proud to offer its 7th annual Summer Theater Intensive (STI) at Bard College this July 15-29.
STI is a multi-disciplinary training program for early career theater artists, including undergraduates and recent college graduates, graduate students, and emerging theater artists of all disciplines (actors, writers, directors, dancers, puppeteers, etc.). Students work alongside resident artists developing new works at the concurrent ENVISION Retreat. The community setting encourages dialogue and association between resident and student artists and a sharing of ideas and experiences.
The Mabou Mines Theatre Company will provide intensive performance workshops on developing physical approaches to character, adapting text to theater, and the opportunity to experiment with innovative theatrical ideas. In the afternoon, each student will participate in the development of an experimental theater work inspired by the tales of 1001 Arabian Nights. The project, led by Ruth Maleczech and Sharon Fogarty of Mabou Mines, an Obie-award winning ensemble, and Theodora Skipitares, Obie-award winning director and puppeteer, will be given a public performance at the culmination of the Retreat. Additional workshops, readings, and events, including attendance at performances at Bard SummerScape are offered over the course of the two-week Retreat.
STI Alumnus remembers: “I gained a broader, more diverse understanding of what theater is and means. I came away with more and more approaches and techniques for my own work and, most importantly, wonderful new relationships.”
Limited work-study opportunities remain for qualified applicants. Spaces are filling up fast!
More information and an application are available on our website: www.vandv.org/student.html or call 212-268-3717.

sculpture at the moma
DAILY CREATOR L.P. SENDS US THIS WONDERFUL DESCRIPTION OF HER EXPERIENCE WITH RICHARD SERRA'S SCULPTURE:
I didn't expect to be lifted in a caress, but that is exactly what I felt upon entering Richard Serra's sculpture named Intersection II in the garden at MOMA. I stood transfixed, allowing the feeling of weightlessness to both calm and energize me.
The giant steel curves enveloped me in a cocoon like safety while the open sky invited me to live fully, courageously. Then I discovered the acoustics, the tonal center of the piece shifting from one tone to another as I sang long tones, finding the wandering points of resonance between the dynamic steel ribbons.

summer playwriting intensive
BROOKE AND ANNE ARE WONDERFUL WRITERS - LET THEM KNOW YOU WERE REFERRED BY SUSAN JOHNSTON.
Do you want to rediscover the joy of writing for yourself in a supportive environment? Do you have a play you're dying to write? The desire to create but no structure or deadline to hold you accountable?
Brooke Berman and Anne Garcia-Romero will lead a four week eight session workshop this June and July designed to lead you to the creation of a first draft of a new play. Participants will develop both the musculature of authentic, connected writing and the structural tools to write a play.
Wednesday evenings will be devoted to in-class writing exercises - this will act as the spine of the class, opening each writer's voice and connection to source material, accessing the deeper mind and imagination to create rich play material. Saturday afternoons, writers will share pages with one another and receive feedback and support.
This workshop is perfect for writers at all levels who want to immerse themselves in the experience of writing a play.
The workshop will be limited to 10 writers.
WHEN: June 13 to July 7, Wednesdays 7-9pm, Saturdays 12-2pm
WHERE: The Fountain Theater, 5060 Fountain Avenue, LA, CA 90069, http://www.fountaintheatre.com/
