Any level of experience is welcome! \nDescription:\nIn this four-session course\, participants will craft creative nonfiction narratives that respond to various forms of art (music\, movies\, paintings\, etc.) they have a connection with. By using writing techniques to capture our various experiences of other art forms to the page\, we will endeavor to translate the unique and nuanced ways that those art works make us feel and the change they might inspire within us. The first half of each session will be spent discussing some craft techniques for writing about particular genres (i.e.\, films\, music videos\, etc.) and any relevant reading. The second half of the class will be allotted for writing and exploration. Together\, we will read and discuss examples of writers responding to art in personal ways\, particularly essays and poems; engage with generative writing prompts\, and complete one round of workshop. Students will also have the opportunity to introduce the rest of the class to at least one work of art they find compelling. This class is open to students of all levels. \nGrace Morse (she/her) is a writer and third year MFA candidate in the Nonfiction Writing Program at Iowa. Originally from New Orleans\, she writes memoir and cultural criticism rooted in curiosity about heritage and healing. Her essays have been shortlisted in CRAFT’s 2023 Flash Prose Prize and Brink’s 2024 Literary Journal Award for Hybrid Writing. Her latest essay can be found in CRAFT Magazine.

SUMMARY:Dreamwell Theatre presents: Design for Living\, by Noël Coward
DESCRIPTION:Design for Living\nBy Noël Coward\nDirected by Will Asmus \nFebruary 14\, 15\, 21 & 22\nPerformances will be held at The Artifactory (120 N. Dubuque St.\, Iowa City) \nSynopsis: \n“The actual facts are so simple. I love you. You love me. You love Otto. I love Otto. Otto loves you. Otto loves me. There now! Start to unravel from there.” \nDesign for Living is a wickedly witty dark romantic comedy by Noël Coward. Initially banned in the UK\, this provocative play portrays three amoral\, glib\, and stylish characters and their hopelessly inescapable\, if also unconventional\, emotional entanglement. \nFrom 1930s bohemian Paris to the dizzying heights of Manhattan society\, a tempestuous love triangle unravels between vivacious interior designer Gilda\, playwright Leo\, and artist Otto—three people unashamedly and passionately in love with each other. They are trapped in what Coward called “a three-sided erotic hodge-podge.” \nWith Coward’s trademark piquant style\, this lively\, funny but also atypical play looks at dazzling\, egotistical creatures and their self-destructive dependence on each other. Exploring themes of Polyamory\, celebrity\, success\, and self-obsession\, Design for Living is a stylish and scandalous comedy. \nCast\nNatalie V. Black – Gilda\nStephen Polchert – Ernest Friedman\nJasper Rood – Otto\nCody Howell – Leo\nNicole Flynn – Miss Hodge\nCassel Rose – Ms. Birbeck\nKalvin Goodlaxson – Photographer\nTracy Schoenle – Grace Torrence\nEve Minkler – Helen Carver\nBrian Tanner – Henry Carver\nAdoh Teyeng Sisourath – Matthew

SUMMARY:Dreamwell Theatre presents: Design for Living\, by Noël Coward
DESCRIPTION:Design for Living\nBy Noël Coward\nDirected by Will Asmus \nFebruary 14\, 15\, 21 & 22\nPerformances will be held at The Artifactory (120 N. Dubuque St.\, Iowa City) \nSynopsis: \n“The actual facts are so simple. I love you. You love me. You love Otto. I love Otto. Otto loves you. Otto loves me. There now! Start to unravel from there.” \nDesign for Living is a wickedly witty dark romantic comedy by Noël Coward. Initially banned in the UK\, this provocative play portrays three amoral\, glib\, and stylish characters and their hopelessly inescapable\, if also unconventional\, emotional entanglement. \nFrom 1930s bohemian Paris to the dizzying heights of Manhattan society\, a tempestuous love triangle unravels between vivacious interior designer Gilda\, playwright Leo\, and artist Otto—three people unashamedly and passionately in love with each other. They are trapped in what Coward called “a three-sided erotic hodge-podge.” \nWith Coward’s trademark piquant style\, this lively\, funny but also atypical play looks at dazzling\, egotistical creatures and their self-destructive dependence on each other. Exploring themes of Polyamory\, celebrity\, success\, and self-obsession\, Design for Living is a stylish and scandalous comedy. \nCast\nNatalie V. Black – Gilda\nStephen Polchert – Ernest Friedman\nJasper Rood – Otto\nCody Howell – Leo\nNicole Flynn – Miss Hodge\nCassel Rose – Ms. Birbeck\nKalvin Goodlaxson – Photographer\nTracy Schoenle – Grace Torrence\nEve Minkler – Helen Carver\nBrian Tanner – Henry Carver\nAdoh Teyeng Sisourath – Matthew
