FOUNDATIONS is a creative process workshop. Excavate the building blocks of why you write—the reasons, purpose, and meaning.

The most significant story we author is the one that we live. We create from our subconscious, and so often the stories that we
imagine and live hold questions we explore on the page.

FOUNDATIONS is a generative writing workshop. The goal is to leave class with a manuscript draft of your foundational beliefs and values. Using tools of writing and theory, you will write and share every week. Our civilization has been built by texts that have guided and shaped the nuance and direction of your art. It’s time you write your own. Excavate what matters to you, and create the foundation for YOUR stories.

FOUNDATIONS is a 4 week workshop. You can take it for 1, 2, 3, or 4 times—it’s up to you.

You can take it up to 16 weeks because each week will introduce something new. We will not be covering the same material.

FOUNDATIONS is designed to accommodate students in various days and time zones.

intersectionality, and more.
