A workshop exploring practical techniques for devising original “theater pieces” that utilize visual images (rather than words ) as their primary means of communicating with an audience. The resulting works will be post-psychological, anti -illusionistic, and non-literary (if not entirely non-verbal. ) We will also explore strategies for staging wordless sequences from works of dramatic literature including Genet’s The Screens, Strindberg’s A Dream Play, Sarah Kane’s Blasted, and Caryl Churchill’s A Mouthful of Birds.
