A Class
I am going to be teaching a class at Valley Art Workshop, my brother and sister’s Art and Music school in Woodland Hills, on Saturday, February 22, 2025.
What’s your story?
If you had to tell your life story in 5 minutes, what would you say? Would it be a highlight reel starting the day you were born? Would it be 5 brief snaps of yourself doing all the things that show us who you are? (a description of 5 different outfits beginning age 3, or 5 different times you failed?) Or would it be a single vignette: you with your family at the dinner table that tells us everything we need to know? These are the kinds of prompts we will be working on in my class “Writing Your Story”, the first of a series I’ll be teaching at my brother and sister’s Art and Music school on February 22.
Who is it for?- Humans.
Whether you’re a Pulitzer prize winning author or a 17 year old writing a college essay, you’re in. The more the merrier. Be prepared to talk, listen, write and have fun. No need to bring prepared work. It will all happen here.
Can I come if I don’t live in Los Angeles? -Possibly.
My brother Miles can set up a zoom call on a big screen if there is enough of an interest but unfortunately you will miss out on the best part.
What’s the best part? Food.
My sister Emily who is a world renowned chef*** and I will be preparing some treats for half-time. Everyone knows recess is the best part.
***She is not a world renowned chef (but she could be).
I hope you can join. Please share this announcement with anyone else who might be interested. Can’t wait to see you.
xo, Deirdre

So excited about this! I won’t be in LA but could maybe do zoom. Xxx
