Theatre and Installation- How to tell a distilled visual story

$160.00

February 8, 9, 15 & 16

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.

Devising Literature: The Juniper Tree

$140.00

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.
