Get Moving, Get Writing! A Playwriting Workshop

Do you have writer’s block?  Have you not written for years, and you want
to get inspired?  Do you want to jump start a project and need a little
oomph?  Do you devise theatre and are looking for new ways to create?  Do
you like to free write and see what happens?  This workshop is an
explorative practice in which you practice tools in the acting technique of
Michael Chekhov, weaving in customized writing time throughout, as you are
inspired by the tools we use (character centers, qualities of movement and
atmosphere).  Dramaturgical support and feedback is available (and
completely optional). CPT Nord Playwright Fellow Arwen Mitchell and
actor/director Sarah Greywitt will be facilitating the experience.

Writers, theatre artists or teachers who are interested in finding new ways
to tap into their creative imagination and explore writing through movement.

*Testimonials from former participants in Michael Chekhov workshops:*

"Not only does Sarah infuse each session with knowledge, wit, and
integrity, she creates an environment of openness and trust, affording
students the time and space to test drive new material at their own pace. I
found her classes to be consistently professional, engaging, relaxed,
informative, and inspiring. Class size was perfect with plenty of time to
work on one’s own, interact, ask questions, and seek out additional
information. Sarah is a most generous and passionate teacher. Whether
you're hoping to take your acting to a deeper level, are in the process of
developing a particular role, curious about Chekhov’s techniques, or simply
in need of a creative recharge, Sarah’s classes are well worth your time."

--Anne McEvoy

"I’m very thankful I took a Michael Chekhov acting workshop with Sarah. I
was amazed and inspired by her ability to help me connect with the material,
blending both the theory behind Chekhov’s technique and the practical
application of those techniques to the script. If you get the chance to
study with Sarah, I would recommend doing so."
--Jim Green

"The class was a great environment to explore a new acting tool. I always
felt comfortable and welcomed by the instructor and other members of the
class. It was a wonderful chance to be a part of a collective learning
environment while discovering my own personal way of learning and applying
the tools learned."

--Corey Knick


"I had the opportunity of attending a couple of Sarah’s classes, recently,
and found her to be an excellent teacher, who provides all her students, no
matter what their experience level may be, the freedom to explore,
experiment and succeed."  --Marcia Mandell
