I love improvising in the style of various playwrights; One of my favorites is Tennessee Williams. In this workshop, participants will explore the playwrights' work, practice embodying people in that world, and express your own experience through the filter of Tennessee Williams’ style.
Description:
The Pulitzer Prize winning 20th Century Playwright, Tennessee Williams is best known for his plays set in the American south* in the 50s and 60s. This workshop will provide opportunities to explore the world, the characters, the secrets and the music of the language of Tennessee Williams Plays.
Workshop participants will use tropes of Williams’ plays to spontaneously create characters, scenes, and plays.
Pre-workshop exploration: Many of William’s plays have been made into great films: Streetcar Named Desire, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, and The Glass Menagerie all provide viewers with insight into the playwright’s voice and both the commonalities and differences in his work. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tennessee_Williams
