Tracie Morris Workshop: Getting in the Flow
Cara
Typewritten Text
Almost 20 years after I first heard Tracie Morris perform at the National Poetry Slam, I find myself in a house in a forest with several other women who have come to take a workshop with the master called Generating Sound in Poetry. “As artists, you have to be connected to your bodies and memories,” Tracie says. We listen to Stein, Eric B & Rakim, to Tibetan monks. We learn about “sonic aesthetics.” The intensity of mind-body work requires bravery and vulnerability. Listening is critical. We need to listen for the poem. Tracie teaches us to ride the waves of sound, to access the flow-- that “altered state.” The more we listen, the easier it is to find our frequency. On day one, we are in private conversations with our bodies, asking our vital organs to tell us things. (Dear Sadness, What does a wound sound like?)

I am having a conversation with my lungs. After almost 30 years, I have not had a cigarette in 11 months and have not written a poem since I quit. A woman tells me that ritualistic breathing is smoking without the smoke. I spend the next four days writing a poem about loss. I am breathing my way through it. The sound is cathartic. I surrender to it. This is my sound. Only in a place so quiet can we truly hear ourselves. I walk in the woods with Chelsea the Love Dog and make my sounds. I’m getting braver. I try singing like Lisa Gerrard. By day four, I’m so free that I find myself singing Host of Seraphim at the top of my lungs. On the night of the Blue Moon, we all go outside. She, too, is asking us to listen. We are one with each other. We are one with the moon. Weren’t we always.

2012 was one of the colony’s more challenging years working with residents, a record number of applications along with partnerships at various organizations, creating a sometimes difficult situation in setting up residency months that worked well. It was also a fairly serious year with many residents coming in under difficult personal circumstances, hampering their ability to arrive at the start of their month, needing to come late, with disruptions to everyone else. What became apparent as the season continued was that it was extremely vital that all residents appreciate the wide diversity of backgrounds and personalities and that basic respect for each other with good communication was paramount to successful colony life. Even through the challenges there were many wonderful moments throughout the residency season. One of my favorites was of Taro Hattori, one of our August artists who’s gentle spirit keenly felt for the plight of a colony of frogs stuck in the spring-fed pool at Millay’s house. With the dry summer, the pool was down at least 8 feet with no way to climb out. Taro, a sculptor, graciously received permission from Millay Society’s director, Peter Bergman, to create the frogs very own ‘stairway to heaven’, (pictured) giving them an escape route. And July writer, Maria Damon, created a cross-stitch piece for the colony inspired by a passage from Savage Beauty, the biography of Edna St. Vincent Millay. Edna wanted to fortify her sister to the profane language bantered about in the West Village (this was the 1920’s), so she had them darn socks while saying those words in a sort of poem which Maria so beautifully sewed into the piece.

In the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, fielding many heartbreaking calls from artists who had applied for the 2013 season and now desperate to work in a studio not ruined by the storm, I feel more strongly than ever this colony is a vital refuge for artists, writers, and composers. This is the place to come where you can feel safe, where you can relax, not have to be on your guard, where you can recharge your artist batteries and lose yourself in the creation of your art. It is a place where you can appreciate the beauty of the world and hold that peace and sense of spaciousness in your heart, even after going back into the ‘real world’. I am thrilled to be welcoming the new season and the new batch of eager residents. I see the relief and wonder on the faces of Aprils residents and am convinced all over again of the importance of our mission.

Dear Readers, Simply put, we are thrilled with our evolving programming. We innaugurated a series of “Weekend Workshops” at the Trisha Brown Studio in Tribeca (New York City). These eight-hour, two-day classes offered intensive sessions with teaching artists in a lovely Manhattan loft space. Rachel Levitsky and Christian Hawkey kicked things off with a riveting workshop from the Office of Recuperative Strategies that brought together twelve people for a weekend of walks, writing, exercise, conversation, reading, and deep thinking. We also had “Workshop Retreats” at our Upstate campus – five-day classes in our little slice of rural paradise upstate. Tracie Morris and Carole Maso offered experiences so multi-faceted, brilliant and enriching that the word ‘workshop’ does not begin to do them justice. And we brought together alumni and friends for a cocktail party at the home of poet Monica Youn and architect/art collector Whitney Armstrong in May. The wine, the conversation and of downtown Manhattan were all spectacular. Our Master Classes in writing at Germantown High School in Columbia County have grown through 2012 into 2013. This year we have expanded into Chatham High School! We work with our amazing alumni writers and artists to offer free Visiting Artist programs in these regional schools. We pay the teachers as well as offering them a bedroom and studio at our lovely campus while

they teach. In 2012, a student reading at Germantown High School and a book of student poems from the unit were a highlight for student participants, and we expect the event later this spring to rise to the occasion. We could not be more proud of our teachers or their marvelous students… The new types of residency we introduced have flourished: we welcomed artists’ collaboratives for Group Residencies, working and/or parenting artists for “Virtual Residencies” and also those with busier schedules for Two Week Residencies. Each year, we look for ways to make our space as open and easy for as wide a range of artists as possible. These new residencies helped us reached some important new groups. We hope to hear from you these coming seasons. You can call us or email us any time. And, always, feel invited to come visit. Each season at Millay is its own unique theater of art-making, seasonal spectacle and personalities. If you have come before, come again. We promise everything will be somewhat different. If you have never been, well, what are you waiting for?? With all affection, Caroline Crumpacker, ED

The Millay Colony for the Arts was founded in 1973 as an artists' residency program located on the former property of poet Edna St. Vincent Millay in Austerlitz, NY. Our mission is to nurture and promote the vitality of the arts by providing writers, visual artists and composers with a rural retreat that encourages creative intensity and exploration in the context of an artistic community.
