SUMMARY:Performing the Apocalypse: A Performance Art Workshop with Megan Arnold
DESCRIPTION:Megan Arnold presents a full-day multidisciplinary workshop that focuses on responding to the creative prompt APOCALYPSE. Participants will learn how to create something quickly\, without the pressures of preciousness\, perfectionism\, or imposter syndrome\, and share it with a group. \nThe first part of the workshop will involve some context around Megan’s work\, improvisation games\, and lots of chit-chat about what apocalypse means to everyone in a specifically queer context. \nThe second part of the workshop will involve creative exercises\, collaborative mega-collage\, storytelling\, getting real\, getting silly\, and putting it all together to make a scrappy ensemble performance. Applause will be generous and genuine. Throughout the workshop\, participants may also contribute to a shared online document resource list of suggested readings\, artists to check out\, videos to watch\, etc.\, which will be available for reference ad infinitum. \nMaterials & Lunch provided. \nFor more information and to register by Oct 4th\, click here.
