The
workshop is intended for those who wish to experience the thrill and
responsibility of producing staging and performing at a major theater
festival. They must commit to an intense rehearsal and production schedule
and be willing to take risks and think outside of the box.
We will present three short original plays by Lorena Paola; “The
Creator”, “The Wedding” and “Underground”
(about 20 min each) that comprise the one hour program titled “Workshop
of Dreams”.
These pieces are of medium technical difficulty and comprise masked
performance, puppet manipulation and physical “movement theater”,
with no spoken word (other than gibberish).
The workshop will include training in movement, mask work, puppet manipulation,
set and prop design and construction as well as lighting and sound design
specific for the pieces to be presented.
We believe the intense nature of the workshop and the high degree of
responsibility coupled with strict deadlines gives the participant a
true experience of what theatrical life in the real world can be. Performing
in a very different social and economic environment, alongside theater
groups from different parts of the world will greatly broaden their
perspective as to their chosen career.
