If you commit yourself to any serious vocation, and are lucky enough to get to do it your whole life, you're going to need to periodically re-discover, or re-invent, your reasons for doing it. You lure yourself into any difficult undertaking when you're young with certain useful hubristic delusions, but when those dreams fall through—or, worse, come true—you need to find new, truer motivations for doing it.

Tim Kreider is the author of five books, including the essay collections, We Learn Nothing and I Wrote This Book Because I Love You. He's contributed to The New York Times, The Atlantic, medium.com, and many other publications.

Casting the attention on those fleeting moments when Zoom glitches happen, this play is a devised performance that will use dialog, poetry, movement, and multimedia to capture our daily experiences when ‘try to connect’ encounters with ‘disconnected’ on both Zoom land and physical world. Reflecting on the pandemic we are going through, this performance is keen to explore: How do the functions of Zoom reform our way of being together? How do we define ‘CONNECT’ in the world of past, present and future? Do the glitches and disconnected moments themselves can be formed into a performance? What can be generated from those glitching/disconnected moments: our love, fear, or loss?

When you hear the word "storyteller," you probably imagine a man with a luxurious white beard, or a woman with elaborate robes and some kind of talking stick. Either way, they sit around a campfire and weave a spell with their words. But we all have a storyteller inside of us all the time — you probably told five stories so far today about little things that happened to you. In this talk, I walk you through how to recognize the storyteller inside of you, and to harness the way you naturally turn lived experience into narrative to make yourself a better writer.
