THE OUTSIDE IN: VOICE & MOVEMENT WORKSHOP
TUE FEB 17, 6 PM
JASMINE BATCHELOR
As actors, we often build characters from the inside, out; meaning we use the text (contextual clues, script insights, breakdowns, extensive table work etc.) to build a character. What happens when we run into a project that requires the opposite approach? This workshop provides some helpful physical tools to creating character, exploring storytelling, and identifying our performance strengths through movement and theater games.

BUILDING THE BLOB: WRITING WORKSHOP
THU FEB 19, 6 PM
JOEY MERLO
A first draft is like marble: rough, unformed, sometimes amorphous—and that’s an important part of the process. This workshop will offer prompts and tools to help writers of all levels shape that raw material into a clearer, more purposeful play. Rather than imposing formulas, we’ll explore how to listen deeply to your draft, find its center of gravity, and release the unique form already within it.

EMOTION IN MOTION
SAT MAR 7, 1 PM
MARIA MUELLER
When was the last time you gave your emotional intelligence the attention it deserves? Yes—it’s a skill, and like any skill, it can be nurtured and strengthened. In this workshop, we’ll explore the often-overlooked power of naming and understanding our emotions. Too often, we rely on the same handful of words to describe what we feel—but our inner world is far more nuanced than that. Through guided visualizations of imaginary scenarios (don’t worry, we’re not going to dig through your past or any other harmful practices!), light improvisation, and movement-based exercises, you’ll safely explore a broader emotional range in a supportive, structured space. By the end, you’ll walk away with deeper insight into your emotional patterns and a richer vocabulary to express yourself.

POEMS THAT TEND TO THE PAST
FRI APR 24, 6 PM
PHILIPE ABIYOUNESS
How might poetry allow us a means by which to—in the words of Lucille Clifton—tend to the past? Together, we will consider poetry as an act of documentation, using found materials (for example: photographs, court documents, letters) to write poems that engage with the stories, people, and places that root us. What need not be forgotten? How do we engage our personal histories with care, thought, and rigor? We will consider these questions and others as we read, write, and talk together.
