This intensive workshop explores how ordinary people and their stories can become the foundation of compelling artistic work.
This workshop examines how art can bridge divides, facilitate understanding, and catalyze social change through face-to-face encounters in real life.

Participants will:

Examine case studies from Mammalian's work to explore approaches to documentary theatre creation.
Learn interview and transcript-based techniques.
Venture into the community of Banff to prove that everyone is interesting.
Collaborate with fellow participants to create a small internal presentation from material gathered through interviews within the group

This workshop is for any/all theatre practitioners interested in devised theatre creation and performance. Especially for those artists curious about making socially engaged work and the belief that everyone, absolutely everyone, has a story worth exploring.

This workshop is presented by Theatre Alberta, Azimuth Theatre and Thou Art Here Theatre as part of the Workshops by Request: The Bow Valley Series.
