What is time travel, really? We can use a machine or walk through a secret door. Take a pill or fall asleep and wake up in the future. But when we talk about magic machines and slipstreams and Rip Van Winkle, we are also talking about memory, chronology, and narrative. In this workshop, we will approach time travel as a way of understanding “the Fourth Dimension” in fiction. Readings will range from the speculative to the strange, to the realism of timelines, flashbacks, and shifts in perspective.

All Levels
Capacity: 12

This workshop will take place online via Zoom. Participants will receive instructions for access prior to the first session.

Temporary

In Temporary, a young woman’s workplace is the size of the world. She fills increasingly bizarre placements in search of steadiness, connection, and something, at last, to call her own. Whether it’s shining an endless closet of shoes, swabbing the deck of a pirate ship, assisting an assassin, or filling in for the Chairman of the Board, for the mythical Temporary, “there is nothing more personal than doing your job.”

This riveting quest, at once hilarious and profound, will resonate with anyone who has ever done their best at work, even when the work is only temporary.
