Blake C. Aarens has been published in the journals Ache: a Journal for Lesbians of African Descent, Open Wide, and Good News, and in Penthouse Magazine. Her essays and fiction have been anthologized in Virgin Territory, the Herotica series, and Tasting Life Twice: New Lesbian Fiction by Emerging American Writers, to name a few. Her play Heart Failure won honorable mentions at both the 1999 Bay Area Playwrights Festival and the 2000 Competition. Her play The Prince of Whiteness was named the invited play to the 53rd Conference on World Affairs in Boulder, Colorado. Blake holds a B.A. in Rhetoric (Creative Writing) from the University of Illinois, and an M.F.A. in Creative Writing (Playwriting) from Saint Mary's College of California. She served as the Acting Professor in the Theatre Arts Department at Laney College in Oakland, CA from Fall 2000 through Spring 2004. **
NOTE: If you are at all interested in the longer course, whether or not
you can make it to the June 5 class, please let us know! We will work
with interested students when scheduling the next series. ** Empowerment
abounds as labels swirl and assumptions dissipate. From femmes who feel
invisible, trannies who don't feel welcome, butches who are not "bois"
no matter how you spell it -- to the newly out 18 year old who is overwhelmed
at the choices in the "Mecca." Whether you want to ask a question, express an opinion, bathe in fabulous queer energy, find a date or be the older and/or wiser person who can mentor us all, come on out for this Pride event. Sliding scale: $7 and up if you have a decent job, $7 and down for queer youth or if you're broke. Presenter

This
one-day class focuses on the crafting and public reading of erotic fiction.
It will explore techniques expanded on in Blake's 8-week writing for performance
course, and any participants of the Sunday workshop who wish to sign up
for Blake's next series can deduct the April 17 class fee from the longer
course payment. For committed writers with a current project or those
who want to get all of those stories out of their heads, onto the page,
and out into the world. The class will include character and dialogue
exercises, work on point of view and point of narration, and on developing
fluency in the language of the erotic. Using acting games and exercises,
and vocal and breath techniques, participants will build a strong foundation
in acting fundamentals to accomplish grace, ease, and depth of characterization
when reading their erotic work. Come to class ready to write!
