Workshops
Songwriting Made Easy
Have you ever wanted to write a song? Are you a songwriter seeking new techniques and inspiration?
In this fun, collaborative workshop, you’ll learn how to write lyrics through games and improvisation and how to compose backing music—even if you know nothing about music theory.
DIY Theatre
Move over, Broadway! DIY Theatre is here for the people.
Together, your group will create a theatrical production on the topic of your choice using only what you have.
No experience needed. This team-building program is perfect for exploring creative possibilities outside the box.
Past Programs:
- Ethnodrama
- Theatre of the Oppressed
- Improvisation
- Scripted Original Musical
How long does it take?
Anywhere from 2 hours to 8 weeks! You’ll decide this, along with the style of your play, in your consultation call.
The Process:
- Ensemble-Building: Games and activities drawn from Viewpoints, Viola Spolin, and Theatre of the Oppressed.
- Devising: Through a series of generative activities, your ensemble will devise a play or musical.
- Rehearsal & Performance (Optional): You can perform your play at a community gathering, or just reap the benefits of the devising process.
