Class Description

Description Cancellation Policy

Description

When crafting a solo performance, much of the work happens on the page—shaping the narrative, refining the story, and finding your voice. But the true magic unfolds when you step into the space and bring your work to life. In the act of performing, new discoveries emerge: nuances in character, unexpected moments of humor or depth, and a deeper understanding of your own piece.

This hands-on workshop is designed for solo performers who have already begun writing their material and are looking to take it to the next level. Through guided exercises, staging techniques, and self-directing tools, we’ll explore how movement, space, and physical choices can expand and refine your storytelling.

Each participant will bring two pages of their own material (or 3-4 if in dialogue form) to work with.

You’ll have the opportunity to perform, receive constructive feedback, and gain individual guidance to challenge, deepen, and explore your work in new ways. Whether you’re developing your piece or preparing for performance, this workshop will help you connect with your material in a fresh and dynamic way.

Come ready to move, experiment, and bring your solo work to life!
