SUMMARY:EVES AT THE BEAT: Womxn Reading at The Beat Museum Celebrate Women's History Month
DESCRIPTION:During Women’s History month 2019\, a constellation of events brought together a group of fabulous womxn+ writers. The meeting of these hearts and minds exploded into something powerful and a new monthly reading series concept was born\, “Eves at the Beat”. \nEves at the Beat has been running for a year now\, gaining momentum and new community as it goes. On March 28th 2020 we are having a celebratory marathon reading to uplift the curators and readers who have shared their hearts and poetic spirits at The Beat Museum in San Francisco throughout the past year. \nThis event will showcase approximately fifty womxn identified writers across eleven hours and will go down in history (at least The Beat Museum History) as one of the largest Womxn identified literary readings in San Francisco. Mark your calendars and stay tuned for the reader lineup and schedule of events for the day! \nMore info about “Eves at the Beat”:\nEves at the Beat is a monthly first Thursday reading series at The Beat Museum with occasional readings in Kerouac Alley featuring womxn and non-binary people. Each first Thursday there will be a new curator and MC invited from previous months. This will give many people the opportunity to step into these roles and make the culture of the readings more equitable and circular\, rather than hierarchal. \nContact: Cassandra Rockwood Rice Ganem Cassandra@cca.edu for more information.

SUMMARY:Inter•Col•Lab: A Reading and Film Screening with Valerie Witte\, Sarah Rosenthal\, and Ayana Yonesaka
DESCRIPTION:The Bindery hosts a special afternoon of interrelated\, genre-crossing collaborations: a book of sonnets and letters\, an essay collection\, and a film\, all of which investigate postmodern dance. \nIn their book The Grass Is Greener When the Sun Is Yellow\, poets Valerie Witte and Sarah Rosenthal engage with the work of dancer-choreographers Simone Forti and Yvonne Rainer. Through research into these innovative women’s dances\, ideas\, and lives\, Witte and Rosenthal use language from and about the choreographers to create a series of co-written sonnets that are interwoven with letters between the two poets. These letters describe the process of composing the poems and branch into discussions of dance\, poetics\, gender\, transgression\, and the unfolding disaster of the current political scene. Together\, the poems and letters construct an environment of reflection\, intimacy\, and vulnerability\, one that is both challenging and invitational. \nWitte and Rosenthal will read from The Grass Is Greener\, and briefly describe the essay project which their book has spawned. Rosenthal and dancer-choreographer Ayana Yonesaka will then introduce and screen their short film\, We Agree on the Sun\, which draws on one of the essays to explore the intersection of dance and houselessness. A Q&A will follow. The event will feature hors d’oeuvres and a cash bar. \n\nSarah Rosenthal is the author of several books and chapbooks including The Grass Is Greener When the Sun Is Yellow (The Operating System\, 2019; a collaboration with Valerie Witte) Lizard (Chax\, 2016)\, and Manhatten (Spuyten Duyvil\, 2009). She edited A Community Writing Itself: Conversations with Vanguard Poets of the Bay Area (Dalkey Archive\, 2010). She has done grant-supported writing residencies at Vermont Studio Center\, Soul Mountain\, Ragdale\, New York Mills\, Hambidge\, and This Will Take Time\, and has been a Headlands Center Affiliate Artist. She lives in San Francisco where she works as a Life & Professional Coach\, develops curricula for the Center for the Collaborative Classroom\, and serves on the California Book Awards jury.

She is a founding member of the Bay Area Correspondence School\, and for eight years\, she helped produce many innovative books by women as a member of Kelsey Street Press. In her daytime hours\, she edits education books in Portland\, OR. Read more at valeriewitte.com. Photo by Andrew Hedges. \nBorn and raised in Sapporo\, Japan\, Ayana Yonesaka moved to San Francisco in 2009 to pursue her career in dance. Since graduating summa cum laude with a BA in Dance from San Francisco State University in 2013\, she has worked in the Bay Area as a dance instructor\, performer\, and choreographer. In addition to teaching at San Francisco Youth Ballet Academy\, RoCo Dance & Fitness\, and ODC\, she also directs ayanadancearts\, a company she founded in 2017. Ayana aims to create highly innovative choreography that is rooted in contemporary dance aesthetics with a strong Japanese cultural narrative. Her work seamlessly navigates her Japanese and American identities\, choreographing through a unique cross-Pacific framework.
