Sometimes it can feel like our creative wells run dry, especially in difficult times. That is why it’s so important to be intentional about refreshing our sources of inspiration and ideas..
The Whole Artist Series events are designed around that intention, filling the creative well. Each event will be held at a unique Houston location, chosen for its artistic or natural beauty, where attendees will spend an hour filling up the well and writing followed by a time of sharing, either sharing writing generated during the experience, sharing about the experience itself, or just sharing in a cup of coffee and the community energy.

TIME: Saturday, July 16, 1:00 - 3:00 p.m. CDT
LOCATION: Writespace, 1717 Michigan Street, Houston, TX, 77006 (map) PRICE: Free for members, $5 for nonmembers. Become a member here. In our quest to discover new creative outlets that fill the well and open up new space for and in our writing, Writespace programming director Jamie Portwood teams up with dancer, choreographer, writer, and Writespacer Eloísa Castillo to lead an experience of movement in the body and on the page. Eloísa and Jamie will lead participants through a series of movement and writing exercises designed to foster expression and free creative energy. Eloísa A. Castillo was born in Houston but spent years of her childhood in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. She returned to Houston to finish high school and received her bachelor’s degree in dance from Sam Houston State University. As a Latina creator and educator, Eloísa began writing her first novel after being diagnosed with epilepsy and undergoing multiple surgeries, therapies, and treatments. When she’s not writing, she chooses aquatics and lunch with friends to relax. She also volunteers and advocates strongly for many different, creative art and aid organizations like Writespace and the Epilepsy Foundation. |
