Truth & Dare: Experiments in Art & Writing with Laura Moulton

Meets Mon/Weds 11am-12:30pm | July 13, July 15, July 20, July 22, July 27, July 29

In this course, we’ll explore work by contemporary artists and writers and generate our own projects both on the page and in the world. Each week you’ll choose one truth and one dare and work toward a final project that will be a culmination in the medium of your choice. The only rule: follow what you are most curious about. Our workshop will include fun writing prompts, research and lively reports-from-the-field, and group-think collaborations. “Homework” may include adventures like graffiti harvesting, doing anonymous good, writing a short story about a nightclub singer in love with an armadillo, or sending something via postal mail.

Laura Moulton is a writer and educator whose work has taken her into public schools, prisons, shelters and out onto the streets. She is an adjunct professor at Marylhurst University and Lewis & Clark College and leads writing and art residencies in Portland high schools for Writers in the Schools. In 2011 Moulton founded Street Books, a bicycle powered mobile library, serving people who live outside.
