DESCRIPTION:Sins Invalid presents: \nPoemsong for Liberation: A Poetry Workshop 
 \nFacilitated by Vanessa Huang and Leroy Moore \n \nPoetry is not a luxury: 
 "it is through poetry that we give name to those ideas which are – until 
 \nthe poem – nameless and formless, about to be birthed, but already 
 felt" (Audre Lorde)  This \nworkshop will invite participants to deepen our 
 truth-telling practice in community, through \npoetry. We will explore and 
 write poetry of necessity. \n  \nWhen: Sunday, April 18th, 2010 \n3 – 6 
 pm \n  \nWhere: Brava Theater Center \n2781 24th St. at York Street \nSan 
 Francisco \n  \nCost:  Free \n  \nAbout the workshop leaders: \n  \nVANESSA 
 HUANG is a poet, writer, filmmaker, cellist, community organizer, and 
 \nconsultant who has worked to integrate cultural work and digital/social 
 media with \nleadership development and movement building from the margins. 
 She is a recent \nfinalist for the 2010 Poets & Writers California Writers 
 Exchange Award. \n  \nLEROY F. MOORE JR is a Black disabled writer, poet, 
 and community activist \nwho has authored a spoken word CD and chapbook 
 entitled Black Disabled Man with \na Big Mouth & a High IQ and created the 
 Krip-Hop Mixtape Project.  He is a co- \nfounder of and frequent performer 
 in Sins Invalid. \n  \nSins Invalid is a performance project that incubates 
 and celebrates artists with disabilities, \ncentralizing artists of color 
 and queer and gender-variant artists as communities who have \nbeen 
 historically marginalized. Our performance work explores the themes of 
 sexuality, \nembodiment and the disabled body where normative paradigms of 
 "normal" and "sexy" are \nchallenged, offering instead a vision of beauty 
 and sexuality inclusive of all individuals and \ncommunities. \n  \nThis 
 event is wheelchair accessible. Although we cannot guarantee a scent free 
 environment, \nwe ask that people please refrain from using scented 
 products for this event.  Our workshops \nare open to anyone who is 
 interested in exploring the intersection and disability and \nembodiment. 
 Limit: 20 participants. If space becomes limited, we are prioritizing 
 participants \nwho identify as having a disability. For more information 
 and/or to enroll, please contact: \ninfo@sinsinvalid.org or call
