The Cascadia Poetics Lab is delighted to participate in ScribFest, June 20 & 21, 2026, at Town Hall. From the ScribLab website: “ScribFest brings PNW performance writers together for a weekend of professional development, artistic sharing, community building, and networking. Started in 2024 as a playwriting conference, this annual event has quickly become THE landmark event of the year for our community. In 2026, we’re expanding to two days, adding a festival element, and proudly serving all performance writers!”
One question the conference asks is “What is a performance writer?” It’s a fair question for poets who read their work aloud in public to an audience. CPL is presenting a panel “Poetry as Performance Art” with three poets and a playwright.
