Writing the Impossible Saturday, June 26 2-4pm Dougherty Art Center 1110 Barton Springs Road Cost: $20 for ASW/ $35 for non-members Playwright Jose Rivera encourages us to include at least one impossible thing in each of our plays. In the play that you are writing or even just thinking about, what is your one impossible thing? What *can* it be? We’ll study Rivera’s “36 Assumptions About Playwriting,” and specifically the idea of impossibility. The workshop will also include writing exercises to make room for impossibility in character, dialogue, scene direction and events.

Amparo Garcia-Crow presents The Living Room, a spoken word series bringing together an eclectic mix of stories around a specific theme. The Living Room is NOT a venue for professional storytellers. It is, rather, a space for creative people who are comfortable in front of an audience and want to share their stories in order to satisfy a need for creativity and connection.
This program, focused on the daily practice of writing and inspired by Suzan-Lori Parks' 365 Days/365 Plays project, is back for the fourth year. In 2002, Pulitzer-Prize winning playwright decided to write a play a day for a year. The resulting play cycle, called 365 Days/365 Plays, is a daily meditation on artistic life, and a radical reinterpretation of what it means to be creative -- for more information on 365, please go to www.365days365plays.com. Austin Script Works is offering our own opportunity to practice daily creativity through 30/60/90.
