Hudson Alter

Hi, I’m Hudson! I’m a second year from Hoboken, New Jersey and I thrive on the combined noises of city and woods. In the city I can be found making up stories about people on the subway, sitting on the Alice in Wonderland sculpture in the park, and walking really fast while I bob and weave through crowds of lost people for sport. 

In the woods I will probably be sitting somewhere listening to the birds talking, or covered in dirt exploring off the side of a trail. 

I’ve loved to write since before I had the dexterity to put pen to paper. Being homeschooled, I learned my voice intimately before I was taught the rules. Now, I’m working on learning the rules so I can break them with purpose. 

At COA I’ve taken..

3D Studio: Introduction to Three-Dimensional Art and Design (Kristy Summers)

Journeys: Writing for Voyagers, Trekkers and Wanderers (Kathrine Turok)

10x Dramatic Writing Studio (Andrea Lepcio)

History of Filmmaking II (Colin Capers)

Native American Literature (Karen Waldron)

Geology of National Parks (Scott Braddock)

Sex, Gender, Identity and Power (Heather Lakey)

Philosophy of Science: Reason, Truth and Reality (Franklin Jacoby)

…and I am currently taking

Spanish Immersive Beginnings II (Karla Peña)

Movement Training Basics (Jodi Baker)

Intersectional Voicing: Modern US Women Novelists (Karen Waldron)

I’m excited to work with you on any project (particularly fiction, poetry, and most things unscientific) as well as help you in your own rule breaking pursuits!
