To be such a citizen\, you must create a new way to see\, to remember\, to understand\, and to say. The William Stafford Center offers opportunities for the creative use of language in service to communities. As teacher\, writer\, and witness\, William Staf ford observed how something unusual can happen when we listen in a partic ular way to an inner voice\, or to another person\, or to the quiet but c onstructive messages that abound in daily life. This kind of listening\, writing\, and conversing fosters the essential intelligence required to m ove from paralysis toward action. Words do what they can't say. Every cit izen\, in company with honest words\, can contribute to the work of respo nsive teaching and advocacy counseling in communities of all kinds. The C enter creates conversations among people with the same verve and fearless welcome that William Stafford embodied in his writing. The William Staf ford Center develops events\, workshops\, and collaborative projects to a dvance the work of creativity through language for service at the Graduat e School\, and in the community and the world.

What an elemental quest! More power to them\, we say.

This is how we share our gifts in order to heal a world on fir e. At this gathering we will exchange resources and ideas for making thi s practice part of our writing process. In the morning\, we will hear sh ort presentations by six artists or artist teams.

In addition\, we invite all participants to bring copies or examples of thei r own independent literary productions for informal sharing during the lu nch hour.

OUR PRE SENTERS A veteran writer and radio producer\, Ketzel Levine distills the very essence of story\, setting\, spoken dialog into evocative radio pie ces with impact out of all proportion to length. The secret is in the pow er of the story and fearless editing\, shaping\, revealing. Joining the detail of written story to the vitality of spoken word Gigi Rosenberg bri ngs writing to life in dramatic monologs and public readings. With minima l costume\, lighting\, and staging\, the story becomes performance.
