On Saturday, March 13, CIIS welcomes four accomplished local artists-Ellen
Sebastian Chang, Thaisa Frank, Joanna Haigood, and Keith Hennessy-for a
timely panel discussion on creating and sustaining a life as a working
artist. Panelists will reflect on their own trajectories, discuss
opportunities, and answer questions from audience members. This
presentation is a part of Saturday Night @ CIIS, a free guest artist
series sponsored by the department of Writing, Consciousness & Creative
Inquiry, and will be facilitated by choreographer and CIIS faculty member,
Anne Bluethenthal.
Ellen Sebastian Chang is a director, writer and a creative consultant.
