PERFORMANCE MAKING WORKSHOPS

facilitated by Sally E. Dean
 
A new series of workshops in three parts each focusing on a different stage in the process 
of creating performance work:  GENERATE, DEVELOP, and EDIT & REFINE.  Together, they 
aim to support you as a creative artist to generate strong, clear material which embodies 
and develops your own personal ideas, vision and aesthetic - in both solo and group 
pieces.  They provide a space to take creative risks and experiment with new approaches 
and compositional techniques, whether you are new to performance making or looking to 
refresh and challenge your existing practice.  Constructive feedback will be available 
throughout, both one-to-one from the facilitator, and from other participants, facilitated 
using established methodologies such as The Field in New York and Liz Lerman's Critical 
Response Process.  At the end of the series, there will be an opportunity for participants 
to show what they have made in a performance event with invited audience.
 
Each workshop builds on the previous one.  Anyone who would like to join the series after 
the first workshop should contact Sally to discuss whether they have compositional 
material that meets the workshop's stage of development.  (max 9 participants)
