Teresa Jordan to teach "Writing the Contemporary Essay," a six-week class, Summer, 2007.

In the hands of such writers as David Sedaris, Joan Didion, Oliver Sacks and Frances Mayes, the contemporary essay has evolved into one of our most popular literary forms by using compelling aspects of literary craft such as vivid prose, character development and storytelling to explore the burning questions of the day. It is a form appropriate to virtually any subject from memoir to medicine, from sports to spirituality, from cooking to camping. Whether your writing is a private pursuit or you intend to publish, experience with the essay can help you hone your writing and guide you deeper in your exploration.

Each week, class will focus on a different aspect of craft, using targeted writing exercises and studying examples in literature to see how great authors have responded to similar challenges. As a teacher, Teresa's goal is to help you improve during the class; even more important, she wants to develop your ability to grow on your own, long after the class has ended. Toward this end, the class will focus on the three skills that have formed the foundation of good writing practice throughout history: reading well, writing well, and critiquing well.

The class will be intimate and personalized, limited to no more than ten people. All levels of experience are welcome. Because of the small class size, two sections are available.

DETAILS

Section 1: Monday, July 16 - August 20, 2007; 6:30 - 9:30 p.m.

Section 2: Wednesday, July 18 - August 22, 2007; 6:30 - 9:30 p.m.

Location: To Be Decided (near the University of Utah in Salt Lake City)

Fee: $300

Call Teresa for more information or email her at tj@teresajordan.com.



Teresa Jordan to give talk on "Learning the Language" as part of the Spring Lecture Series at the Roswell Museum and Art Center in Roswell, New Mexico, on Thursday, April 19, 2007, at 7 p.m.

Since at least the Tower of Babel, the world's peoples have encountered each other across the barrier of language. Depending on the success of their communication -- and sometimes in spite of it -- they inevitably engage each other in some combination of thievery, politics, war, trade, marriage, and the sharing of knowledge.

Teresa recently returned from a two-month Spanish immersion course in Argentina and began volunteering in Salt Lake City's Latino community. These very personal experiences have given her new insight into the frontier -- that place where one language encounters another -- from the Lewis and Clark Expedition to current day Iraq. In this talk she weaves personal anecdotes with meditations about history, culture, and the role of language in human endeavor.

As part of her work with the Roswell Museum, she will also teach a series of workshops, including "Creating the Illustrated Journal" for high school students on Friday morning, February 20; "Writing from Personal Experience" for students at New Mexico Military Institute on Friday afternnoon, February 20; and "Writing from Personal Experience" for adults, all day on Saturday, February 21. For more information, contact the Roswell Museum and Art Center at (506) 624-6744. It is located at 100 West Eleventh Street, Roswell, NM 88201.

Teresa will use her time there to write a book proposal.

Teresa Jordan will present the lecture “30,000 Years of the Horse in Art” in several villages on the banks of Lake Issyk-kul in Kyrgyzstan in November, 2005, as part of the At Chabysh festival, a gathering of nomadic tribes celebrating the culture of the horse with traditional horse races and mounted games, music and storytelling. The festival is a reinvigoration of the sorts of gatherings that took place for hundreds, even thousands of years until they were forbidden during the Soviet period.

Teresa has been invited as part of a cultural exchange organized by Vista 360†, a group from Jackson, Wyoming dedicated to building relationships among mountain and horse cultures around the world. The primary goals of the At Shabysh festival are to provide an opportunity for the nomadic tribes to celebrate horse culture and to build support for the preservation of the Old Kyrgyz Horse, an ancient breed adapted to the high mountains. The Soviets worked to eliminate the breed and developed a “New Kyrgyz Horse,” cross-breeding chiefly with Thoroughbred stock. The Old Kyrgyz horse survives now only in a few isolated herds in remote mountain villages.

Members of the exchange include Candra Day, Vista 360† Director; the musical group New Frontier, consisting of Hal Cannon, Ron Kane, and Linda Svendson; Oona Doherty, videographer; Melinda Kornblum. Melody Lin, Lorna Miller and Nancy Resor, horsewomen; Anne Muller, photographer; Arial Muller, visual artist; and Ben Read, journalist.
