Workshops, Workshops, Workshops!
Monday, May 23, 2011 at 06:26PM In line with our upcoming Story Theater play, Demon Dreams, director (and MFb co-exec) Kevin Laibson will be teaching two story theater workshops open to the public, with members of the Demon Dreams cast.
Story Theater involves a small group of actors collaborating without sets, costumes, or props, to tell stories as written, each actor playing several roles and narrating. It was developed by Paul Sills, adapted from his mother, Viola Spolin’s, theater game techniques. Actors play several roles, ranging from people to animals to elements, and use their bodies to create entire environments, through transformation and mime. The development of a Story Theater piece is highly collaborative and improvisational and relies absolutely on ego-less collaboration and playfulness among the actors.
Come join us for one of two 5-hour Story Theater workshops on the set of Demon Dreams at the Gene Frankel theater. In each workshop, a (very!) short story will be selected and turned in to a short Story Theater piece, which will be filmed and offered exclusively to participants in the workshops. The workshop costs $100, and 12 slots are available for each session exclusively through the IndieGoGo fundraising campaign for Demon Dreams. The workshops will be held July 8th and 15th at 11am. Participation comes with two tickets to Demon Dreams and some other cool stuff.
Kevin Laibson studied with Paul Sills for two years at the New Actors Workshop, where he worked with Sills on two Story Theater productions, Evening Clouds, and The Stories of Red Hanrahan (in which he played the title role). Immediately after Hanrahan, Laibson directed a Story Theater revival of Paul Rudnick’s Jeffrey, and worked on several more Story Theater plays with Jason Hale and the Theater Project Ensemble, featuring members of Sills’ Broadway Story Theater production.
