CSI Stage Door Series - 100 Hours
“Poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings: it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquility.” William Wordsworth
College of Southern Idaho faculty and staff, led by poet laureate Jim Irons, have taken a challenge: write unfettered by form, direction, or specific purpose for one hour every day for 100 days. These spontaneous creations will then be perused, discussed, and recollected in tranquility by the entire group, then crafted into poems, essays, short stories, lyrics--any form the work demands. Join us as these finished products are presented through recitation and performance, and gain insight into the creative process. The final performance will grow organically from the writing process, with the only guarantee being beauty, creativity, uniqueness, and surprise.
The Stage Door Series is designed to be thought-provoking and a little out of the ordinary in different ways - whether it's because of the intimate setting, the material performed, the way they are presented, or the collaborations involved. Proceeds for the performances will benefit the individual CSI programs which are performing.
