URSULA RUCKER: Epic Poem/Memoir Writing for Life & Lens

URSULA RUCKER: Epic Poem/Memoir Writing for Life & Lens

This Deadline Expired: Thursday, April 11, 2019

World-renowned poet and recording artist Ursula Rucker will guide participants through the process of writing and performing their own epic poem/memoir for the camera. Participants will learn how to write honestly and passionately, how to be comfortable with and find their rhythmic poetic voice. Participants will create a video version of their work by producing their own filmed performance (wardrobe, background, props, camera angles, etc.) and incorporating visual and sound elements. This workshop will be a deep dive into personal stories. Please leave all censorship and judgment at the door.

My work can be traced back to my own personal history and experiences, yet rather than being personal symbols, it is a product of a collective memory that I share with the viewer.

Fran Lightman Gibson a Philadelphia painter working primarily with oil on canvas. I attribute the source of my artistic inspiration to my love, fear, and awe of nature as it both represents and defines the tension and optimism of life. My “Take Any Road Series” encourages the viewer to have the confidence to experience life no matter how difficult or confusing, beautiful, or powerful. All of this exists with an underlying structure of assumptions. I think we all see the world a little differently and feel our own experience uniquely.  I paint using what all of my senses have given to me as the experience.  When I paint the sky, I am feeling the wind, putting it to music in my head, remembering the smell of the chance of rain, tasting the air, seeing the clouds dance.

Carol Taylor-Kearney creates mixed media paintings and sculptures that are vibrant in color, adventurous in the mediums used, and playful in the open-ended stories or puzzles she presents. Based on recognizable people, places, and circumstances, she adds a bit of imagination to collected debris to create worlds to touch and to visit. Often, she takes advantage of combining real-life observations with art history and literature, and the subjectivity of time. Taylor-Kearney wants observers to feel that they can find something new every time they experience the artwork.

As a native of Israel, Dganit grew up in a Kibbutz. She moved with her husband to the US in 1992. After years of creating art as a self-taught artist, she became a full time student at UNC Chapel Hill. Moving to Philadelphia, she earned her BFA with honors from the University of The Arts, and MFA from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Art. Currently, she is working in her studio at the Crane Old School in Philadelphia. In her work she is pulling from her reservoir of life experiences, memories, intuitive processes, and curiosity to construct a “place”, an environment – a landscape. Within it, she aims to present an idea composed of multiple layers, which focuses not only on the physical “being” of land, but also on land as a source of emotional and psychological mood.
