Crash Course in Neo-Futurism!
Neo-Futurism for All…
The Crash Course in Neo-Futurism is our flagship introductory workshop in which you will learn all about the Neo-Futurist aesthetic and how our approach differs from traditional theater-making. You’ll also get the chance to write your own Neo-Futurist plays and share them with the class!
What To Expect
easy movement warm-ups
a look at the Neo-Futurist aesthetic
creative writing prompts
opportunities to collaborate with other participants
You will walk away from the workshop with multiple writing pieces and a performance to add to your body of theatrical work. This workshop is the prerequisite for many of our more advanced workshops, including Practicing with Practicals! coming up later in May.
This workshop is Sunday, May 3rd @ Shotgun Studios, 1201 University Ave in Berkeley!
Workshop at 1-4pm
Playing with Practicals!
Lights, sound, vibe…
Many elements can help tell your story and can be done with very little means.
Come to this one-of-a-kind workshop taught by SF Neo-Futurist, Wallace Yan, to learn and play with the possibilities! This hands-on workshop will be a playground for story-tellers to imagine, build, and present their work to each other. This space is for new ideas, old ideas, personal story, and transformation.
What to Expect
Workshop participants will be led by Wallace on his creative process on making a "vibe" for audience members in the style of Neo-Futurist theatre. A handful of techniques for cheap theatrical effects and foley will be demoed then participants are invited to experiment! Afterwards we will show each other our works-in-progress and discuss. All participants receive a discount ticket to The Infinite Wrench.
Who is this workshop for?
All bodies welcome.
Theatre/drag artists, performers, and story tellers interested in experimenting with design elements for their work!
