Corey Fischer presents Theatre Making Intensive (SF)

Friday, August 1: 7 - 9 PM,
 Saturday and Sunday, August 2 and 3: 12:30 -6:30 PM.


The theme will be: creating original theatre that bridges personal
(autobiographical) and collective (ancestral, social, political,historical) material.Corey Fischer, one of the founding members of A Travelling Jewish Theatre, will share some of the processes that he and his colleagues have developed over the past 30 years of making theatre that weaves these various realmstogether.

To find out more about the work of ATravelling Jewish Theatre http://www.atjt.com

In the workshop, participants will explore – in both solo and ensemble forms – ways of working with a variety of source materials: poetry, prose fiction and non-fiction, personal writing, personal and ancestral story, songs and improvisation. You'll create some rough beginnings to experience how these tools can work and how the personal and the collective persectives can provoke and enliven each other to form something larger. Much of the work will be active and embodied, but
there'll also be some time to discuss and reflect.

COST: $250 [$200 for NET members/members of NET theatres]
A Phone interview required. If interested, email  corey@coreyfischer.com or call (415) 596-3433.
He'll be posting more details in days to come on his own website <http://www.coreyfischer.com> .
