Saturdays 9am-1pm & Sundays 10am-2pm
4 day workshop
Adults: Ages 18 and up
Join Artistic Director, Samantha Van Der Merwe, for a four day hands on workshop, exploring the art of making installation pieces within the theatrical framework. During this workshop, participants will each choose a story from a selection of fairytales and myth. We will work on coming up with a concept for an installation that feels true to the story, capturing an element or moment that needs distillation. The rest of the workshop will be dedicated to sourcing, putting together, and presenting our installations.
February 10th - 19th
Mon-Wed 6:30pm - 9:00pm
Six Sessions
Adults: Ages 18 and up
Acting experience required
Devising with a written story as a framework is like having a map of the woods, but much of those woods are still unchartered. Come and experience tapping into into the group mind, allowing for altered moments that enhance the story and serve to break it out of its mold. As a group, we will work on the Juniper Tree, a darkly beautiful Grimm Brother's tale. In our six sessions together, we will learn to follow the truth of the story and see where it takes us.

If you have seen any work at Shaking the Tree, you know that we love actors who can move well. Moving together as a group can be a thrilling and difficult experience. In this drop-in class, lead by Samantha Van Der Merwe, come and hone your skills, stay fit, and explore the boundaries of your body, within a safe, supportive and fun environment. No movement experience necessary.
