Public Program

DiverseWorks seeks participants for These Are My Papers, a writing for performance workshop open to artists and/or cultural workers, dreamers and peleoneras, those trans to gender and/or genre who want to explore the fluidity of time, borders and space and the insurgent possibilities of writing as a refusal to go undocumented. Facilitated by theatre artist Virginia Grise, this writing for performance workshop series with a focus on creative practice and process will be held monthly from January to April 2020 and will culminate in a public performance.
