Are you born ready? No! Join international touring performer Marysia Trembecka for a workshop designed to get you ready. Drawing on 20 years of touring experience, she'll guide you through hands-on character and creation exercises. You'll also get crucial advice in a Q&A session on touring and making money, so you leave with clear next steps for your work.
Just off a two-month Canadian tour and drawing on 20 years of creating and touring her own work, Marysia brings her unique blend of creative and practical wisdom to Gothenburg. For the first 60 minutes, you'll engage in hands-on character and creation exercises designed to ignite your artistic fire. Come with the seed of an idea, a character, or nothing at all, and see what sparks! Inspired by her acclaimed characters like The Singing Psychic and Queen Of The Fcking World*, you'll explore new ideas and build a solid foundation.
Then, in a focused 30-minute Q&A, get the straight answers you need to turn inspiration into action. Marysia will demystify the business side of art, from budgeting and marketing to booking venues and handling contracts. You won't just leave with ideas; you'll leave with a plan and the inspiration to move your work forward.
Marysia is at the Gothenburg Fringe by invitation, following her two award nominations for The Singing Psychic Game Show at the Montreal Fringe in 2024. Having built a strong reputation from three sell-out Edinburgh Fringe shows to a TEDx Talk and a Best Show nomination at the Funny Women Awards, she's a testament to the success you can achieve through 20 years of creating and touring her own work. While in Gothenburg, she will also be performing three fringe shows, including her hit The Singing Psychic Game Show and a short appearance from her character Queen Of The F*cking World.

Praise for Marysia's Workshops
"As part of the Saskatoon Fringe programming, Marysia served as a guest facilitator at the annual SALT Mine, a monthly actor practice space hosted by the Saskatoon Actors Laboratory Theatre. Marysia helped guide the room through character exploration exercises inspired by her show The Singing Psychic, and helped facilitate discussions on working in the arts, self-review, arts practice, and fringe producing. Marysia was able to facilitate with a warm, inviting energy that helped equalize everyone in the room, and invited people to participate free from fear of failure or judgment. As someone who has clearly been a part of the performing industry for a long time, Marysia had a wealth of stories, experiences, and personal reflections to offer, without ever imposing her views or opinions on the other professionals in the room."
