SCRIM

In the theater, a scrim is fabric that hides or reveals depending on the light. SCRIM marks my debut as a certified facilitator in the AWA Method (generative, prompt-based writing + strengths-based feedback). In these workshops, we will write from the scrim's edge—the traces, layers, and glimpses of our lived experiences that emerge when we shift our perspective.

The AWA Method honors the reality that we are all writers, we are all born with creative genius, and we all have strong, unique voices. The two-hour format of these sessions includes time for writing, and for hearing and considering the voices of others in the space. You are encouraged—though not required—to read what you write in response to the provided prompts. All writing is kept confidential and treated “as fiction” (we make no assumptions about writers or topics that are written about). Strengths-based feedback to just-written work is reflective of what is strong and resonant in the creative writing.

It is always astonishing to me the variety and quality of what is generated in these small virtual communities, even within short time spans. All experience levels welcome.
