Author and dancer Mary Lou Sanelli offers a multidisciplinary literary performance of her book, A Woman Writing: What writing about writing taught me about determination, persistence, and the ups and downs of choosing a writing life. Joined on the stage by Cornish dance students, Kate O’Day and Marcella Sweeney, Sanelli will speak and read excerpts from her book. As a finale, the dancers will translate one of her pieces into movement. This event is for anyone who writes or wants to write. In a conversational style, Sanelli relates the comedy and the heartbreak of the writing life. The Seattle Times says, “What Sanelli does in front of an audience is easier to recognize than it is to define.”
