Our Workshops

If the audience can’t hear the actors, nothing else matters. Learn how to mic actors, build ear rigs, set gain, and mix sound so a show actually works.

Pick up Broadway-style choreography and practice the moves that make pros stand out: storytelling through dance, precision footwork, and mastering musicality. You’ll leave stronger, sharper, and ready to take the stage with confidence.

Discover the power of physical storytelling in Storytelling Through Mime, where mime becomes a dynamic tool for bringing narratives to life. Students will explore how gesture, movement, imagery, and soundscapes work together to create vivid stories without relying on spoken text. Working both solo and in collaborative groups, participants will develop original pieces that use mime as a physicalization of character, emotion, and plot. This course invites students to expand their creative expression, build ensemble skills, and craft compelling stories through the artistry of movement.

Learning the discipline of play as it is taught by traditional physical comedy techniques teaches us how to be resilient in the face of the inevitable failures that come with true innovation and helps us welcome those failures as essential guideposts on the path to success. Whatever your work might be—teaching, creating, learning, researching—infusing it with your personal brand of fun will lift your work to new levels of discovery and productivity. This class will teach you to play as if your life depended on it, to risk breaking the rules and being a fool, to go beyond the bounds of normal and access the infinite resources of fun that exist inside us all to work and live better.

The expressions of the puppet arts are boundless. Being part of humankind’s desire to understand the world around them in the earliest tribal gatherings, puppetry has been used for religious beliefs, education, social organization, entertainment, and political commentary. Puppet Arts is enjoying a renaissance in popular culture, television, film, Broadway and beyond. Bart will demonstrate and share some of the fundamental concepts of puppet arts with hands-on participation and discussion.

Theatre is a visual language — and costume design is one of its most powerful storytelling dialects. The rising generation of theatre-makers is redefining who gets to be seen, how stories get told, and which bodies are allowed to participate fully in the artistic process. Many young performers carry complicated relationships with visibility, identity, image, and casting norms, experiencing inherited industry assumptions about proportion, silhouette, “correctness,” and spectacle that were never designed for an inclusive world.

In this interactive and multi-modal workshop, participants will explore how costume designers craft meaning, history, identity, humor, and power through silhouette, line, color, texture, and movement — while also considering the lived bodies and identities of the actors who bring these designs to life. Together, we’ll interrogate the defaults of “traditional” casting and costuming culture, celebrate the design breakthroughs of inclusive storytelling, and practice tools for building more compassionate, authentic, and radically imaginative theatrical worlds. Expect sketching, short design challenges, collaborative dramaturgy, guided analysis of iconic production stills, and reflective conversation at the intersection of aesthetics, representation, and design ethics.
