Neo-Futurism

Truth in Performance, Neo-Futurism, & Mining Your Story on Stage
with Rob Neill
Sunday, October 13, 1-4pm

This one-day intensive delves into story and performance via Neo-Futurism. It is designed to strengthen a performer’s confidence while mining observation and experience. Based on the Neo-Futurist approach to creating new work quickly, it focuses on developing a heightened awareness and staging personal experiences in order to empower the participants and kickstart creativity based on observation. By drawing from these experiences and cultivating extraordinary ideas from the seemingly ordinary, participants learn how to weave perception with imagination to create powerful and unique storytelling on stage. *There are no pre-requisites to participate—you do not need to have any experience in writing, performing, or theater at all. You only need a willingness and curiosity to transform your real-life experience, thoughts and opinions into live performance.
