[NEohioPAL] Workshop: Writing for Solo Performance

[Smorton8 at aol.com]

**WRITING ON YOUR FEET**

A 3 week intensive on Writing for Solo Performance
Taught by  award-winning playwright/performer Sarah Morton 

Are you interested  in creating solo work, but afraid to try it, because you 
think you’re
‘not a  writer?’ Are you a writer or performer looking for ways to jump 
start the  
creative process?    
 
This 3- session intensive workshop will introduce you to alternative ways  of 
creating solo work. We will move through a series of physical and  
improvisational exercises to spark ideas for stories and characters, and then  explore 
ways to ‘get it down’ on paper and shape your discoveries into dynamic,  
theatrical monologues.  All levels of experience are welcome! 
 
Workshop meets for 3 consecutive Monday evenings: 
October 13th, 20th,  and 27th from 6:30-9:30 pm *
 
at Loganberry Books on Larchmere Blvd in Shaker Heights. 
 
* Students must be able to attend all 3 sessions.  Please check your  schedule
carefully before registering. 
 
Investment: $ 100  if registered by September  30th.
