Playwriting Masterclass Imagining Memories A two-day workshop using sense-memory, breathing, and remembering to help find and fuel the dramatic voice. Saturday, September 10th & Sunday, September 11th Space is limited for this rare opportunity - register early!! “There was a time when everyone’s heart went blind and the sky turned black. It was the beginning of the judgment and everyone who did not fear God was to be destroyed. A certain, evil woman with five children saved herself from the angel of destruction by offering pieces of her children to Heaven. She took an ear from one, an arm from another, and so on for every child she had. And so her children didn’t look like other children. Oh, not at all.
About This Workshop Imagining Memories & Writing Dreams is a rare workshop opportunity for serious early-career and emerging playwrights and established playwrights. This two-day masterclass concentrates on developing the individual voice of the playwright in an atmosphere that is open to diverse ideas and approaches. Come and write with Migdalia as she teaches you to reclaim your history and use your ancestors and memories to ground your characters in the truth as only you know it—in a voice that is fiercely unique. The successful student will be open to writing in a group, and sharing her or his raw voice with the group, thereby honoring the sacred space created. We are all children of Salt , and writing/recording/remembering is how we complete ourselves.
Registration Cost for the 2 day workshop is $195 + HST. Registration will be limited. Payment can be made online by credit card using the PayPal link below. To make payment by cheque please contact us directly. For more Information please contact:Alameda Theatre Company |
