FEARLESS SOLOS: Writing and Performing Your Stories

In this weekly class we’ll explore ways of sourcing material for solo performance and ways of putting our work into our bodies and voices, and into the performance space. We’ll write with our pens, our bodies and our voices, drawing from a variety of movement, writing and physical theater exercises in order to create embodied performances that tell our stories and speak our truths. The class will culminate in an informal performance of our work together. You don't have to be fearless to take this class! All fears, trepidations, beating hearts and wobbly knees warmly welcomed and gently invited to the table!

Come play with your marvelous voice, your exquisite body, your ordinary stories, your reliable mistakes, your words whispered from behind closed doors, your name shouted outloud from a mountaintop.  For performers and non-performers, writers and non-writers.

no class 3/21; final performance open to invited guests on 5/16
