Save the Drama – Theatre Workshop Outline
Presenters
In Part I of this workshop, writer/producer April C. Turner, of Life As Art Productions, will give touring theatre artist-entrepreneurs the “Top 7 Things to Know and 7 Things to Do” for a satisfying & balanced career filled with happy & loyal clients. We will also discuss ways today’s touring theatre artist can navigate new performance pathways during pandemic uncertainties in the industry.
In Part II, we hear from Rodney Rogers and Sharon Graci of Pure Theatre. From not-for-profit models to self-producing, creating theatre demands wearing many hats. In any one production, the theatre artist can be performer, producer, and presenter all rolled into one. Not to mention head of marketing! This workshop looks at the process of theatre-making from the granular level to the thousand-foot view. How do we do our best work while holding true to the demands of the form and market?
Virtual format: Tuesday, March 8, 6-7:30 p.m.
