Between the lines-building theatrical action

This workshop will span six hours over two days: November 12 and 14, 6 pm-9 pm.

Through experimentation with space, sound, light, and objects, participants will gain experience in creating theatre scripts that go beyond words. This workshop will serve writers and makers curious about developing onstage moments that inspire directors, designers, and actors to make theatrical magic. Participants can bring their written content and will work collaboratively to create short experiments.
