Reading Nancy Ryan (1932-2025)

A celebration of her work by Taos poets

A reading of Nancy's poetry by Kat Duff, Jenny Goldberg, Kathy Goss, Sofia Greenberg, Rick Haltermann, Anne MacNaughton, and Magdalene Smith. The event is a fundraiser for Cultural Energy/KCEI-FM.

Nancy Ryan, poet and radio personality, was a hidden treasure of Taos. For many years she hosted the radio show Womenspeak on KCEI-FM, interviewing women activists and workers in the arts.  In 2010 she published The Scattering Depth, a collection of her poetry illustrated by Theresa Gray.

As her eyesight failed, she invited her poet friends to help edit her work and to read it at public gatherings. The present reading represents the fulfillment of Nancy's wish for one more performance of her work by her fellow poets. She also planned to help organize a fundraiser for Cultural Energy/KCEI-FM. Tonight's event brings these two purposes to fruition.

Sun, June 15, 4 PM -6 PM
Fairy Jazz Orchestra and The Neighbors

Music for the Monsoon features the Fairy Jazz Orchestra (members of Anam Cara and Noble Rider) as host band for a seasonal celebration of the rain in dry times. Joining FJO will be two local musical acts known for theatricality, originality, and instrumental power: The Milking Parlor and The Neighbors. The Saturday concert, 4-6 pm, pairs the FJO with The Milking Parlor. For the Sunday concert, 4-6 pm, The Neighbors are the guest band. The concerts bring elements of drama to the presentation of the music—with poetry readings, set design, and, for the June shows, original musical theatre—as a nod to the wonderful setting of the Wildflower and the desire to offer a different kind of live music experience.

Playwriting & Theatrical Storytelling Workshop

Workshop

Playwriting & Theatrical Storytelling Workshop

Facilitated by Joseph Sarosy, author of How to Tell Stories to Children (21 languages), this workshop will bring children and adults together (ages 12-99) to develop storytelling and playwriting skills and bring a story of your choosing to life.

Participants will have an opportunity to see how story operates in a human being, within each other as a group, and ideally within themselves. Rather than being captivated by a story (or held captive), we will learn to interact with a story, influence it, and see ourselves in it as we grow and shift.
