Hi circus and theater artists! This weekend I'll be teaching 3 workshops at the (incredibly special) New England Center for Circus Arts in (one of my fave places on the planet) Brattleboro, Vermont, and all 3 focus on the intersection between theater and circus, the ways that dramaturgy (e.g. the craft of telling a story, exploring a theme, building a character, or structuring an act) can enrich and enliven circus acts, and some tools and tips for making ensemble shows. If you're around and interested, bring your questions and artistic hungers and come play, discuss, and expand your goals and toolset.
- FRI 11/6 - Everything We Wish We Knew Before Creating An Ensemble Show (co-taught with Megan Gendell)
- SAT 11/7 - How Do I Start: Ten Different Starting Points for Making an Act
- SUN 11/8 - Making Circus That Matters: Tools Beyond Technique
And I'm available for (and love to offer) private or semiprivate lessons in:
- Act creation
- Act development
- Theatricality and audience connection
- Written or spoken text for performance
