Presented as part of the Capital Fringe Festival Training Factory.
Cost $85

We have created three successful productions for the Capital Fringe Festival: Prufbox, Low Tide Hotel, and Manifesto!, all of which have enjoyed further lives at venues such as the Piccolo Spoleto Festival, NY Clown Festival, The Peabody Essex Museum, and Round House Theater. The team of Mark Jaster and Sabrina Mandell have developed these shows through a collaborative process that treats text fragments with visual imagery, character, clown, puppetry and physical expression.
In a pair of workshops we will take text fragments and explore a range of possible treatments. In the first meeting we will provide the source material, and stimulate its creative exploration and presentation in a small group format. In the second, material brought in by the participants will provide the points of departure, allowing guided collaborative inquiry and the experience of a variety of approaches. In both meetings, supportive, interactive, creative play will set the tone.
This Training Factory Event will run on two consecutive weeks, with a Monday class and Tuesday class for your scheduling convenience. That’s six great hours with Happenstance Theater for only $85!
Workshops will be at FORT FRINGE – 607 New York Ave. NW, Washington DC 20001
We’ll see you at the Fort!
Yes, that’s right! We are heading to Piccolo Spoleto from May 23rd to May 30th to perform Low Tide Hotel at The American Theatre. Please tell anyone you know who lives in the vicinity to come and see the show!
Also spring seems to be creeping back into our little oasis and the bulbs are bursting upward, the deer are frisky, and the sun comes peeling through the windows with a vigor. Let’s hope it is not a difficult rupture and that it eases it’s way in without toppling the whole balance as it has wont to do…
Well, best for now, upcoming will be Capital Fringe announcements and our exciting new piece that will compliment Low Tide Hotel…
FAR FAR Oasis.
