Where are YOU in your work? The best way to truly engage an audience is to create from a place that is personal, informed, and imaginative. This workshop will outline a specific creative formula to mine the depths of personal experience, then incorporate research into the material, and finally round out a piece with pure fiction. We will work towards creating pieces that can be turned into performance poems, solo plays, or something much bigger – encouraging artists to graduate ideas from the brain to the page and onward towards the stage in a safe and supported environment.

One part writing, one part collaboration, one part performance. Applicable to emerging artists and professionals alike.
