All skill-levels welcome! Registration slots are limited- so don't delay!

WHAT WILL THE WORKSHOP BE ABOUT?
You've seen Autobiographical Fiction at the Fringe Festival and you want to try your hand at this wacky format? You're an improviser looking to add a couple of things to your yes-and toolbelt? You're an international spy with sensitive military secrets on the run from the government and you need to lay low for a few hours? We got just the thing!
Logan Robins and Olivier Blais are hosting a special, one time only workshop at the Bus Stop Theatre dissecting the format for their show. In this workshop, they will lead you through helpful creative exercises, discuss the strategies and difficulties of doing a solo improvised show and guide you through performing a small, shortened version of the show. By the end of this workshop, you'll know how our brains work when we sweat on stage: which is great because a workshop ticket also gets you a ticket to the show! What a steal!
Through different creative exercises we will explore focus, connectivity, world building, storytelling and more. Because of the limited class size we look forward to meeting each participant where they are at to help them build skills, confidence, and to have FUN!
SHOULD I BRING ANYTHING?
Please wear clothing that you are comfortable moving around in and bring a reusable water bottle, lunch/snacks, and a playful spirit!
AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL FICTION
Your workshop fee includes free admission into our 7:30pm performance of An Autobiographical Fiction Christmas Special!
Now that you know how the sausage gets made- you won't want to miss this sausage party! Err.. performance!!
This is an entirely improvised solo show created by the audience (including you)! Before each of the two acts begin the audience will have a chance to fill the stage with a wide array of costumes and props while also filling out sticky notes with festive-themed prompts, lines, song recommendations, and more! This is a chance to be creative, collaborative, and a little silly as you unleash your inner playwright/director/set designer/sound designer/costume designer!
*Audience participation is never mandatory. Your'e safe. We promise...
We understand that times are tight and want to ensure this workshop is available to anyone interested. If there are financial barriers to your participation please reach out so we can make it work for you!
If you have any questions or ways in which we can make this experience more accessible to you please send us an email at: unnaturaldisastertheatre@gmail.com !
We can't wait to see you soon to spread some holiday cheer.
Yours truly,
Logan Robins
