Fascism got you down? Can’t get anything started or anything done?

FITLD is 4 week online workshop tackling, embracing,
snuggling up with creative fears - the big and the small, the real real and the fake fake.
We contain multitudes… of terror!

Why do this with me?
I have been making performance work for almost 3 decades. I am a 2022 Guggenheim fellow, a 2021 United States Artist Award recipient and a 2020 Creative Capital Grant awardee. My film Weirdo Night, directed by Mariah Garnett is an official 2021 Sundance Film Festival selection. I was included in Made In LA 2023 and am publishing my first book, a memoir, Hell In A Handbag, in April 2026 on DOPAMINE books. I have performed in big fancy institutions and dingy dives internationally. But also, who cares. The important thing to me is that I was able to do all this shit even though I was/am terrified.

I have developed a cute fun easy modern not scary demented but not culty PDF workbook

THIS IS FOR YOU IF YOUR BRAIN SAYS

The world is too fucked up and doesn’t need my art right now
I don’t have any ideas (WE WILL HAVE PROMPTS!)
I don’t know how to ask for help
I don’t have enough money
I don’t have enough time
I procrastinate
I don’t have any space
I am not cool enough to make art/be in the art world
People will think I’m stupid
I think I ‘m stupid
I actually AM stupid
I can’t get started
I can’t finish anything
There is no “market” for what I want to create
There is no room for me
People will abandon me if I am successful
People will abandon me if I am not successful
I will choke, I will not be able to follow through
I have stage fright and people fright
I can’t and I don’t know why

This workshop is open to ANYONE in a creative process,
OR NOT! Even if you don’t have a current practice you are welcome.
