This hands-on workshop focuses on Manual Cinema’s approach to storytelling and their “live cinema” techniques. Participants will learn how the company creates shows from story idea to full production, then move onstage to experience the “behind-the screens” staging from an original Manual Cinema projection. Each participant will devise a short, narrative show of their own using the company’s equipment and puppets, perform these shows for each other, followed by discussion and critique.
Participation limited to 24 — RSVP to reserve your seat
