WORKSHOP B

August 4 - August 8, 2014

STORY THEATER INTENSIVE

with Carol Sills

Story Theater is the celebrated form evolved by Paul Sills that allows the transformation of stories or literature into onstage performance. The ten-session intensive will include the group adaptation of stories, myths or poetry during a rehearsal process that leads to performance. The approach emphasizes communication, through the playing of Spolin theater games. Rachel Sills will assist.
