Workshops
"Text? Assembly Required! Process by Happenstance"
Happenstance Theater has created three successful productions for the Capital Fringe Festival: Prufbox, Low Tide Hotel, and Manifesto!, all of which have enjoyed further lives at venues such as the Piccolo Spoleto Festival, NY Clown Festival, The Peabody Essex Museum, and Round House Theater. The team of Mark Jaster and Sabrina Mandell have developed these shows through a collaborative process that treats text fragments with visual imagery, character, clown, puppetry and physical expression.
In a pair of workshops we will take text fragments and explore a range of possible treatments. In the first meeting we will provide the source material, and stimulate its creative exploration and presentation in a small group format. In the second, material brought in by the participants will provide the points of departure, allowing guided collaborative inquiry and the experience of a variety of approaches. In both meetings, supportive, interactive, creative play will set the tone.
This Training Factory Event will run on two consecutive weeks, with a Monday class and Tuesday class for your scheduling convenience. That’s six great hours with the amazing Mark Jaster and Sabrina Mandell of Happenstance Theater for only $85!
