Writers WorkSpace is pleased to host a free evening of fiction and dance in the spirit of October, featuring sound-and-movement duo Microgig and science-fiction writer William Shunn. On a mission to bring dance to places it's not normally found, Microgig members Asimina Chremos (dance) and Fred Lonberg-Holm (sound) will stage their haunting improvisations in this unusually close and intimate setting. Bookended by chilling short stories read live by the Hugo and Nebula Award-nominated Shunn, the evening will be one you won't want to miss. Space is limited, so arrive early. Light refreshments will be offered. For more information, please visit shunn.net/medicine.
