Playwriting/Performance Workshop: Playing Utopia with Jeremy Geragotelis (six weeks, 7/26-8/30, 6-8pm, $150)
2026-07-26 18:00 - 20:00 (America/New_York)
Playing Utopia: Future Livenesses and Political Possibility
Time-based art is particularly well suited to teach its audience that other ways to live, to survive, to revolt are possible. It’s hard to deny a future when it’s right there in front of you. We will spend this workshop writing new pieces of theater and performance that imagine a more livable life for more people. How can a play or performance be a how-to guide in not just imagining but enacting(!) utopia?
We’ll read excerpts from playwrights, poets, and theorists: B. Brecht, J. S. Drury, M. Blitzstein, S. Treadwell, C. Churchill, T. Hearne, Sophocles, A. Washburn, F. Jameson, J. E. Muñoz.
This six-week workshop is for anyone looking to experiment in playwriting and performance-writing—no previous experience in these forms is necessary. Participants will have time to both write and share their work. The class will end with some form of culminating performance!

Writing on Writing: A Metafiction Working Group with Lena Rubin - Session 2 (July 29th & August 5th, 6:00-9:00pm, $100)
2026-07-29 18:00 - 21:00
In this experimental working group, we will study and play with the technique of metafiction — tentatively defined here as “writing on writing.” As we engage with metafictional texts such as Anna Moschovakis’ Eleanor, or The Rejection of the Progress of Love, Hélène Cixous’s FirstDays of the Year, Renee Gladman’s My Lesbian Novel, and Zia Anger’s My First Film, we will embark on a metatextual journey, both soulful and cerebral, transgressing the boundaries between fiction and autobiography, author and protagonist. Though our time together will include group discussion & reading together, you should also expect to generate a good deal of your own work! Participants will come away with an increased understanding of metafiction as radical technique, as well as new ways to approach their own art-making in service of more capaciousness, experimentation, and play. All are welcome: poets, readers, writers, artists, thinkers.

Lena Rubin is a writer, artist, and teacher based in Florence, MA. Lena’s work has been supported by the Outer Cape Artists in Residence Consortium, recognized with a nomination to the Best New Poets anthology in 2024, and published in Little Mirror, Second Factory, Afternoon Visitor, and elsewhere. Lena will complete an MFA in Prose Writing at the University of Massachusetts Amherst as of May 2026. More at lenarubin.tumblr.com.

Some things past students say:
“This is the best generative writing workshop I have ever take…”
“I would describe this class as the building of a big web of shared language / a communal world collage gathering / a surprising & unproductive experiment in writing collaboratively.”
“It ends up building this really cool ecosystem of worlds in one Google doc..”
