WHAT

Often, the first impulse we receive  is the magic one. "Instant performance" develops your innate capacity  to give life to something that is fully formed from the moment you transmit it.  We then follow that initial impulse to lead you toward generating substantive  work of lasting value.

In order for the originator of solo work to successfully captivate and hold an audience, rigorous demands must be met but also unique opportunities for invention are offered.  These intensive workshops  explore how solo performance methods - of conjuring character, inventing natural speech and locating the stories inspired by place, passion and imagery - can be applied to generating vital writing  and to infusing performance with live-wire authenticity. 

For  playwrights, solo show originators, actors, and writers of fiction, memoir and drama, this is writing on the tongue and stage, as an addition to, and rejuvenation, of writing on the page.

Writers will  generate and refine material in

Writing Down the Voices. And performers will perform a 10-minute  piece for Solo Performance: 

There will be a shared reading/performance event.
