Workshop: Turning Scenes In To Shows

Turning Scenes In To Shows Workshop with Dan McCormack

This workshop is part of the Scene Stealers workshop series.

For an art form that revels on spontaneity, uncertainty and the joy of discovery, many of us stick with formats of the past, often missing great opportunity to create a show that is something different. In this workshop, Dan will take participants through a journey where we can learn to create shows from our scenework both from a pre-planning and spontaneous perspective.

When and Where

The workshop takes place on Tuesday 2nd July, from 7pm to 9:45pm in the Teachers Club (36 Parnell Square West). Workshops are capped in size.
