SCREENING: Notes on the Death of Kodachrome
(video, 2005, RT: approx. 50 minutes)
This piece pretends to be about the discontinuation of the much-loved format, Kodachrome, and with it
the further endangerment of super-8 film. But it has other agendas of reclamation, political inquiry, and
personal reckoning that are its true subject matter. We follow the filmmaker as she tracks down three
old friends who borrowed and never returned pieces of her super-8 film equipment. |

WORKSHOP: Basic Elements with Lisa Jarnot, 10am-12pm, $25/20 members
This seminar will focus on the basic building blocks of the poem, beginning with vowels, consonants, and syllable clusters, and evolving toward an evaluation of the larger metrical structures inherent in poetry—phrases, lines, and stanzas. Working from Louis Zukofsky's idea that poetry can be evaluated within the range of "lower level speech, upper level music", we'll explore ways to locate the musicality of different kinds of poetry and we'll ask what makes a poem tick. During the workshop we'll read poems that adhere to metrical forms and we'll also look at "Open Verse" poems. In addition we'll write some poems of our own.
Lisa Jarnot is the author of three full-length collections of poetry
including Black Dog Songs (Flood Editions, Chicago). She is currently
completing a biography of the San Francisco poet Robert Duncan
which will be published by University of California Press in
2006. She lives in New York City and teaches in the Creative Writing
Program at Brooklyn College.

WORKSHOP: Understanding & Revealing Characters in Fiction with Martha Bergland, 2pm-5pm, $25/20 members
Compelling fiction contains characters that draw empathy from the reader. In this workshop we will study and learn different techniques that help us know the characters in our fiction, (and therefore their conflicts). Through this deeper level of understanding we can build characters that intrigue and captivate our readers.
Martha Bergland's first novel, A Farm Under A Lake, was published 1989 by Graywolf Press, and by Vintage Books, Bloomsbury in England, Bonniers in Sweden, and Krueger in Germany. Graywolf published her novel Idle Curiosity in 1997. Bergland's essays, poems, and short stories are widely published in literary journals. Her short story, "An Embarrassment of Ordinary Riches", was awarded a Pushcart Prize and was included in Pushcart's anthology, Love Stories for the Rest of Us. Bergland taught English for many years at Milwaukee Area Technical College.

Our 25th anniversary waltz (without the waltz):
A Celebration of NEW Music in Milwaukee
For this final night of Woodland Pattern’s 25th
anniversary festivities we have assembled some of the
most active musicians in Milwaukee’s thriving
experimental and improvised music scene. Representing
a half dozen different ensembles (including I-Beam,
Collections of Colonies of Bees, Audiotrope, Hand to
Mouth, and Raccoons) and the work of six unique
independent Milwaukee-based artist-run labels
(Soutrane, Topscore, Necessary Arts, Crouton, Cody
Recordings, and Penumbra Music), this 12-piece
ensemble convenes for an evening of freely improvised
duos, trios, and quartets to celebrate Woodland
Pattern’s next 25 years supporting and hosting new
music to Milwaukee audiences.
