Ensemble Stage-Wrights Workshop Announces the 2013 Workshops


“Discovering History: The Playwright’s Journey”

and

“An Empty Space Roundtable”

* *

*Discovering History: The Playwright’s Journey*

* *

The “History” workshops will be partnered with Ensemble's first production
of the new year, "The Gospel According to James" by Charles Smith, Ensemble
Advisory Board Member, and Head of the Professional Playwriting Program at
Ohio University.  "The Gospel According to James" was commissioned by the
Indiana Repertory Theatre, and is based on historical events in Marion,
Indiana in 1930 made infamous by the Lawrence Beitler Photograph.  The
workshops will address the journey of a play from conception to production
by following the creation of "The Gospel" from commission to successful
final product with notes and insights from the playwright Charles Smith and
Ensemble Dramaturg, Tyler Whidden.

* *

*10 Minutes to History*

*January 8th-February 26th (Tuesdays 7pm-9pm) (8 weeks)*

Ensemble's Stage-Wrights, will offer a "10 minute" playwriting workshop

presented at the completion of the class. ($125)

*One Act History*

*January 12th- March 2nd (Saturdays 3pm-5pm) (8 weeks)*

*Introducing Ensemble Director of Education/ Resident Dramaturg: Tyler
Whidden*

*Tyler is a Cleveland-born playwright, actor, and director.  After
receiving his BFA in Playwriting from Ohio University, he traveled the
country as a stand-up comedian before moving to Chicago.  While in the
Windy City, Tyler worked with Victory Gardens and The Neo-Futurists
theaters, honing his craft.  He recently earned his MFA from Goddard
College and lives in Cleveland. His play “Dancing with NED” had its world
premiere at Ensemble in March 2012.*





*An ‘Empty Space’ Roundtable ** *

*(January 14th- February 18th, 7pm-9:30pm) (6weeks)*

This workshop will discuss interpreting a work for the stage and the
mechanics of script analysis. We will use Peter Brook’s theory in “The
Empty Space: A Book About the Theatre: Deadly, Holy, Rough, Immediate” as a
jumping off point to provide a common vocabulary and context necessary for
growth in the Professional Theatrical world as a Playwright, Actor,
Director, Designer or Administrator. We will read "The Iceman Cometh" by
Eugene O'Neill and use Brook’s theories to provide context and a new
framework for discussions on mounting re-interpretations of Modern American
Classic Plays. No experience is necessary. You do not have to be a writer
to participate in this discussion-based workshop. Actors and Directors are
encouraged to enroll.  A copy of Peter Brook’s "The Empty Space" and a copy
of Eugene O'Neill's "The Iceman Cometh" are included in the class fee. *($125)
 Taught by Ian Hinz, Director of the Ensemble Production of "The Iceman
Cometh" by Eugene O’Neill opening April 19th.    *
