Leigh Fondakowski, Founding Member of Tectonic Theatre Project, will teach a three-day intensive workshop on "Moment Work," the approach to dramatic creation that has led to the company's award-winning work including Gross Indecency and The Laramie Project. In this workshop, students actively engage with the elements of the stage – exploring lights, sound, costumes, movement, text, architecture and more – to discover their full theatrical potential and the poetry inherent in each element. The workshop culminates in a presentation of the Moments created over the course of the weekend.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Don't miss out, sign up today!
