I have two back to back readings tomorrow! 

First at IS/LAND Open Studio at AADL Downtown Library Multipurpose Room this Friday Oct 21, 2022 6:00-7:30 pm EDT, in person. This will be an open studio with IS/LAND dancers and musicians so will not be your ordinary performance experience. It is always super cool with lots of discussion et al.


And then at Booksweet Bookshop from 7:30-9:00 pm, in person and outdoors (weather pending)!


An evening of readings at Booksweet on the northside of Ann Arbor from four local authors: Vicki Brett-Gach, Jihyun Yun, Ann S. Epstein, and Frances Kai-Hwa Wang.

This is a FREE event, but your RSVP is very helpful to their planning.

IS/LAND Presents: Invisible Embrace | Ann Arbor District Library

Three performers are clustered around a set of suitcases, and a pile of oranges is next to an empty, open suitcase. The set is dramatically lit in magenta and blue light, with the area away from the performance quickly shifting to black.
