VOCABLE: Toronto workshop

Ciara Adams and I will run a writing+sounding workshop in Toronto next month. Details below!

On August 12, 2007, Decadent Rare and Theatre Commutiny will present VOCABLE, a multidisciplinary arts workshop facilitated by Ciara Adams and a.rawlings. We will share warm-ups and creation exercises we use to develop individual and collaborative art. This is a fantastic opportunity to kick-start your curiosity, creativity, and passion.

Participants will be invited to engage in writing exercises, breath and voice work, and improvisation. Open to anyone aged 18+.

Workshop material will explore:

• the importance of warm-up in literary, theatrical, sound, and movement-based practices;
• how body awareness and being present can benefit the creative process;
• how to harness improvisation and collaboration as creation tools;
• writing exercises, voice and breath-control technique, and interdisciplinary vocabulary development;
• blending art forms to create dynamic work, with an emphasis on innovation and invention;
• focus on the body as a primary starting point for creation.
