  • Session 2: Brecht and the provability of any and every contention and forcing humanity through a sieve with Grotowski.

    Session two started well, we had lost a few people but gained some new folks who couldn’t attend day one. We tried red ball again with much the same chaotic results, until one of the participants asked if we could try it whispering. Brilliant suggestion, the magic happened again, once they had a limitation to…

  • Session One: Cocteau’s Microscope and the Logic of Dada

    I must admit, I approached our initial meeting this year with great excitement but also a little trepidation. You see we’ve had a bit of an enrollment boom, to put it mildly. Last year we had 16 in the workshop, this year 30 people applied. Very exciting, to be sure, but a bit of a different…
