"From Stage to Page" is our next workshop.
The workshop will take place on Saturday, September 11, and Sunday, September 12, 2010, 10am - 4pm. The workshop will be led by Shannon Sullivan.
There are many workshops and courses which take participants from written material on the page to some sort of stage presentation or performance. In this workshop workshop we will do the opposite: you'll learn how to go from stage to page – and back.
We will work with language as living, vibrant material. It breathes, moves, changes, grows, challenges – it possesses its own rhythms and dynamics.
We will work with the body, voice, space and words. After physically exploring space, rhythms and tensions, you will be led to apply these discoveries to words on the page.
In the workshop we will work with improvisation exercises designed to stimulate your imagination and make you look at language in a new light. Sounds, rhythms and images are sharpened. These discoveries flow into your writing on the page. Page can then flow back to stage.
What you choose to write about and what form it takes depends on you. At the end of the workshop you will have gained new insights, impressions and techniques. You can take them with you and apply them outside the workshop, bringing more sharpness and precision to both your writing and performance.
