A Transcriber's Tale at Seattle's Starstuff Festival

Joanna had the opportunity to join the inaugural Starstuff Festival in Seattle in October 2025, presented by Astrolab at the Reverie Ballroom. It was a deliciously inspiring three-day festival where local artists presented short works alongside traveling shows like Joanna’s musical monologue “A Transcriber’s Tale.”

We are each one.

We are all one.

We are Starstuff.

Joanna’s Saturday afternoon performance was a highlight along with her Saturday morning 2-hour creative workshop, “Getting Started with Autobiographical Writing.”

GETTING STARTED WITH AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL WRITING

(Contact Joanna to present this workshop to your group or audience.)

Feeling intimidated by the blank canvas before you? Even the first galactic explorers faced a similar moment—that initial step onto a new frontier. In this workshop, we’ll navigate that blank space together, exploring techniques to silence your inner critic and spark your creativity. Whether you’re a seasoned traveler of the stars or just starting your journey, you’ll leave with the tools to chart your own narrative and the confidence to take the next step.

The stages are waiting.
