About The Workshop

Do you want to create original work?
Do you need a place to begin?
Do you want to develop a solo performance piece – but you’re not sure what it would be “about”?

Join internationally renowned teacher/director Saskia Hegt as she returns to Synaesthetic for a 3-day intensive workshop that focuses on just that! Whether you’re experienced in creating original work and want to explore new approaches, or whether you need someone to show you where to begin, this workshop will broaden your creative horizon.

In the process of “translating” ideas and feelings into theatrical terms, participating artists will experiment with image work, improvisations, text, music and timed writing and drawing. The subject of each piece may be one the artist consciously brings in, but the process will also help participants uncover their subject they wish to explore. Over the course of the workshop, Saskia will guide each participant organically towards a repeatable structure and “anchor-points” for his or her emerging original work.
