Improv in Sunny SE

inisboffin

Am I imagining things or was this on another forum I saw it?
Wasn't there a post here about a theatre/improv workshop in Kinsale or Cork City.? I think by Marcus?

I just referred someone from Cork City to it when they rang, and they said it wasn't here - they're right!

Marcus, you didn't cancel your workshop did you? Can you repost the info if not? Was the post removed maybe?
Thanks!

Explore Creativity through Improvisation Workshop

September 13th 2009 - 10am to 5pm - Kinsale Pottery & Arts Centre
Led by: Marcus Bale

This dynamic workshop will focus on the element of Creativity in Improvisation. Through exercises, drama games and improvised situations we will learn how to express our creativity through action.

Drama improvisation uses exercises that deal with the imagination in a conscious and in a subconscious level, and develops the awareness of the here and the now.

This workshop will help its participants to trigger their creative potential, using Verbal & Physical Storytelling, Image Theatre (Theatre of the Oppressed), Viewpoints and other interesting techniques based on Improvisation.

Exercising elements such as intuition, trust, spontaneity and through the use of the body, our voice and our mind we will explore and expand our creativity.

Faceman/ Mods, could we please have an 'upcoming workshops' sticky do you think? The upcoming auditions one seems to be working well. There IS already a place where professional dance folks can place their info, could we have one for theatre-related stuff too? I used to refer folks a lot to boards for stuff out of my area, now that has trailed off..

Can mods please clarify if we can with permission from a mod post info here?
What are the criteria to post?

I think a thread would be good, and not clutter up the boards, a sticky so people can search it for recent posts..

I think newbies or people who had been away for a while may not know their posts are not allowed, it's a bit unclear. Thanks!

I will review the request for a workshops thread with the Community Managers and let you know the outcome.

I agree with Inisboffin that a workshops thread will be a great idea. Workshops are the one thing that actors never stop doing no matter how experience they have (in my experience this has been the way). It will also help avoiding misunderstandings (like the one that occurred to me), and like inisboffin say, avoid cluttering the board with offers. All in one sticky thread, that sounds good.

Best wishes,

guthlaf
