After taking the month of July off for a summer respite, we’re back with a new event that we’re thrilled to share with you. Join us at Evans School next Saturday, 26 August for an evening of word, sound, and image featuring Cass Eddington, Tobias Fike, Paulus van Horne, and Kelly Sears. 

Cass will share new and previously published poetry, Tobias will debut a new performance piece, Paulus will conduct a sound-base performance, and Kelly will screen several short videos. 

Light refreshments will be provided, but feel free to bring snacks or drinks of your own. With an uptick in Covid19 cases, we ask you to refrain from attending if you’re feeling ill or have been exposed to anyone who has been sick. 

THIS EVENT IS CO-HOSTED BY JOSHUA WARE AND SHARIFA LAFON

PERFORMER BIOS 

Cass Eddington (they/them) is a poet, teacher, and community arts organizer. They are the author of Vernal Hurt (Magnificent Field) and TRANSIT (Spiral Editions) with recent work in Annulet, Deluge, and DREGINALD. They run and curate Vocational Poetics -- an accessible space of creative autonomy and radical communion, featuring classes by teaching artists. A PhD candidate in the University of Denver’s Creative Literary Arts Program, Cass teaches community-based and university-funded creative writing classes and is an apprentice in regenerative landscape design. They live with their dog Jupiter in so-called "Denver." 

Tobias Fike (he/him) works in the now by looking to the past and responding to his own life and circumstances, mining out the universally human aspects of that reality. Fike has been fortunate enough to do a few things and this is one of them.  

Paulus van Horne (they/them) is a multimedia artist and technology researcher based in Boulder, Colorado. Paulus’ creative practice encompasses machine learning, game design and large-scale audiovisual installation often featuring (supposedly) autonomous digital technology. Their recent work investigates the possibility of love, intimacy and gender euphoria in the virtual world. Paulus is currently a PhD candidate in Critical Media Practices at the University of Colorado where their academic research focuses on the history and design of gendered computer voices. 

Kelly Sears (she/her) creates hybrid speculative fiction and nonfiction collage animations where the ordinary and the fantastic collide. Her films have been screened at festivals such as Sundance, Slamdance, South by Southwest, American Film Institute, International Film Festival Rotterdam and museums such as MoMA, The Hammer Museum, and the Eye Filmmuseum in Amsterdam. Solo programs of her films have screened at the Pacific Film Archives, Anthology Film Archives, The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, and the San Francisco Cinematheque. She is an Associate Professor in Cinema Studies and Moving Image Arts at the University of Colorado Boulder.
