ARTISTIC STATEMENT SEMINAR / MAGICAL DIALOGUE / EVENTS & REVERSALS: MAKING THINGS HAPPEN
ARTISTIC STATEMENT SEMINAR
SUNDAY JANUARY 26TH 2 PM - 5 PM ET VIA ZOOM, $75
TAKE ALL 3 FOR ONLY $60/CLASS IF YOU SIGN UP FOR ALL 3 AT ONCE.
If you haven't already taken my Artistic Statement Seminar, it is highly recommended (testimonials). You might think, oh, that's for applications, grants, and funding. But even if you're not applying for anything, an Artistic Statement can help you manage the doubt that arises in any artistic practice.
When you have clear reasons and a deep understanding about why you do what you do, then, if/when your work isn't chosen, you can continue to work without feeling so battered by how hard it is.
Artistic Statements are a kind of scaffolding we create for ourselves so that we can keep going with our project, a way to maintain our commitment to the work. When you have your Artistic Statement scaffolding in place, you can scale greater heights in your work and take bigger risks. If you do fall off or out of your project, your scaffolding catches you, so you never fall far. You are able to stand on it to stay grounded for the best approach and to reach the deeper/higher places.
Artistic Statements can work for you in so many ways. Join me Sunday, January 26th from 2-5pm ET via Zoom to explore your why in a safe and brave environment. $75 (If you need financial support to attend, please reach out.)

MAGICAL DIALOGUE
SUNDAY FEBRUARY 23RD 2 PM - 5 PM ET VIA ZOOM. $75.
(Again, if funds are an issue, please reach out.) I created this class for my students when I was teaching playwriting at the U of Iowa (mid90s), and it has been a favorite for many. It will change how you think of dialogue, how you write dialogue, how you understand forward momentum, and how you can create builds and climaxes in your scenes. It will help you with exposition and conflict too. So run, don't walk, to sign up for Magical Dialogue! CLICK HERE to let me know you want to sign up!
EVENTS & REVERSALS: MAKING THINGS HAPPEN
SUNDAY MARCH 9TH 2 PM - 5 PM ET ON ZOOM $75.
Events & Reversals, a fun intro to structure that will help anyone who wants to sharpen their story skills. How can you make things happen? How can you turn your scenes? This was created specifically for playwrights at any level, but it could be helpful for anyone working with narrative. CLICK HERE to register for this class!
YOU GET A DISCOUNT IF YOU SIGN UP FOR ALL 3 AT ONCE: $180 (ONLY $60 PER CLASS).
A testimonial from Dinah Manoff
“When I came to Emma Goldman-Sherman’s Brave Space two years ago I had both a great need to write and a great resistance to getting the words on paper. I was afraid to “write badly.” I had a whole slew of voices in my head telling me why I couldn’t and wouldn’t succeed. But with Emma’s coaching and instruction I learned (and am still learning) to be gentler and more compassionate with myself. This has led to a new creative freedom and provided me with a safe non-judgmental writing community where the focus is on our process as writers regardless of what we are working on. In addition, Emma always provides wonderful prompts and poetry for inspiration. I’ve been fortunate enough to participate in two of Emma Goldman-Sherman’s workshops. Structure is not a Dirty Word, which filled in many of the gaps in my education as a writer, and her ten-week playwriting workshop where I turned out a first draft of a full length play. Emma’s feedback is always supportive, her critiques are insightful and she facilitates a constructive class discussion."
