Bio

MARILYN CASSELMAN is a writer, director and activist. In 2006 she started The Freeborn Project to promote and expand feminist knowledge and principles to mainstream women through seminars and speaking engagements based on her book, TALKING THE WALK, The Grassroots Language of Feminism © 2008.

SEMINAR & WORKSHOP

TALKING THE WALK: The Seminar

Based on the book, the principles of feminism are used to create an intellectual framework establishing the connections between women’s common issues and individual realities. Participants learn to integrate these ideas with their own knowledge and experience; and to create new language to express the talents, values and wisdom we all possess. (One-day seminar; full description above.)

STORY LAB

NEW STORIES, NEW THEMES

For every story in our culture, there are angles, themes and constructs we’ve never even heard of. This is because the male voice determines not only what is worth telling, but how it is told. New Stories, New Themes is a process that reveals new conceptions and new bones for dramatic storytelling. (Three sessions over three weeks.)
Available Winter 2008
