Note: Though this class is offered as part of the Certificate in Memoir Writing, there is no pre-requisite to join this class. All students, members, and nonmembers are encouraged to enroll. In this workshop, participants will deepen their character work and learn how to craft a compelling memoir scene complete with description, details and dialogue that will bring the written word to life. A deeper understanding of the two voices of memoir will be explored; the voice of innocence and the voice of experience. Participants will gain a strong understanding of how and when to create real, conversational dialogue and utilize flashbacks. Tools to communicate clarity of character will be taught to bring the people in the story to life for the reader. Participants will be encouraged to submit another chapter of their work for peer review. (Those following the certificate program will have 3-5 chapters written by the end of this class.) Class structure: Except for the first class, the first hour will be lecture and the second hour will be read and critique where participants can workshop their material or class assignments. Tone of class: We strive to create a supportive, nurturing environment where participants feel encouraged to share, risk and connect to their most creative self. Our textbook, "7 Essential Writing Tools," is available for purchase on the first day of class for $10 or on Amazon/Kindle. Note: There will be no class on March 28 (San Diego Writers Festival) or April 4 (Easter)! Please also note that you will receive your Zoom link via email 24 hours before the start of this class.

"Die Already" is a queer horror comedy that loves the genre it's skewering, gleefully deploying every slasher convention while turning them inside out. It's bloody, it's funny, it's surprisingly sexy, and it has a lot to say about who gets to survive, and who's been writing the script all along. It's Halloween night in a small gay bar in Hillcrest, and Branigan Prescott has exactly one thing on his mind, ending a two-month dry spell. Dressed as Jason Voorhees with meticulous attention to detail and armed with a rubber machete, he's ready for anything. Or so he thinks. When Chase Hardesty walks in dressed as Kevin Bacon's death scene from "Friday the 13th," it feels like fate. Two horror obsessives, same movie, same night. What follows is flirtation, trivia, dancing and the kind of meet-cute that only happens on Halloween. When Chase's partner Jordan arrives and an invitation back to their isolated cabin is extended, Branigan accepts, double dog dared by his best friend Gary into the adventure of a lifetime. But as the night deepens and the storm closes in, the rules of horror movies Branigan knows so well begin to apply with terrifying literality. Somebody has been doing their research. Somebody has been casting. And the final girl, or in this case, the final boy, is going to have to fight like hell to make it to the last frame. Compulsion Dance & Theatre: Website / Instagram
