In this workshop, you will be guided by ensemble members of the paper theatre as you split into groups and utilize common source materials to create small performance pieces. The heart of the workshop is the creative devising process, with time reserved at the end for sharing pieces and (if desired) receiving feedback.
Overall, this workshop is intended to foster Meeting between fellow creators, provide a space to practice creating in a judgement-free zone, and deepen community connections within Chicago. We hope to share some of our own discoveries as an ensemble while we facilitate the workshop, but the main goal of the event is provide a space for people to create and Meet.
While this event is mainly targeted toward theatre performers, all are welcome–dancers, musicians, designers, etc.
The essential layout of the day will be:
- Introductions
- Exercises
- Sharing of source materials, rules, and expectations
- Work time
- Presentations and (if requested) feedback
