This month’s Red Dirt Writes takes place on Tuesday, December 17, at 7:00 p.m. at Literati Press in the Paseo. Kat Wooldridge will lead the workshop on how to let your feelings flow through movement. Bring your notebook and favorite writing utensil. 📝

Workshop Deets: Explore poetry through movement to get your realest feelings out of your head and on paper. We will explore the use of environment, movement, and other stimulus to let the creativity flow! Wear comfy clothes, and bring some water. *Note for accessibility: Movement will NOT be required for this workshop. There will be times that attendees are encouraged to get up and move, but everything can be modified to your comfort level.* 🚶🏽

Kat is a poet, teacher, and activist born and raised in Oklahoma. They began writing poetry at age 13 as a way to cope with the challenges of growing up. Now they write to share their experiences and spread awareness about issues that matter to them. Their work encompasses topics like mental health, queerness, domestic violence, and disability justice. They hope others can find solace in their work, like they find in other’s work everyday. 👩🏻‍🏫

We will be at Literati Press Comics & Novels this evening if you need a loving and accepting place to be. We are toying around with the idea that everyone gets 6 minutes to scream on the mic tonight. We might just all circle up in one giant hug/crying heap. We are more aware than ever of the magic of our inclusive community full of dreamers and lovers and poets and artists and big feelers. We hold our community close and nothing is gonna stop that. Come in tonight to share or to hang or to get some hugs. 7:00pm showtime—come a lil early if you wanna be on the list.
Things are heavy! And! We still have each other!

We will eat together, mingle, do shenanigans, and have an open mic, but performances will be shortened to 3 minutes this time so we have more time to party. There are also some very cool prizes to raffle off for those who did Inktober prompts. 🎃👻🦇💜
We hope to see you there!
