Excited to see you!

Hoping 2026 is bountiful
Hoping we have many chances to make the art we want
Hoping we can pay our bills with the art we get
Hopefully both can be true
Thank you to every artist that helps me get a little better each day at what I do

Congratulations on Season Two - and as we shoot season three - I am in awe every day that you are still nice, still cheerful, still early, still prepared, still respectful, still an ensemble, still making notes, still care 🩷

So proud
So grateful

Hello Actors,

Provocations begin with the material and the meeting of the actor and the material;

How available am I to hear the provocations and invitations of the text?
Am I relaxed?
Am I confident in my nervous system?
Am I confident in my characters; anthropology /In their language /in their behaviour?
Do I have the self esteem to research and prep?
Do I have the nerve to meet another actor where they live?

As a group we will break down a scene for its possibilities.
We will also work a scene with a partner from provided material.

Registration is open to intrepid actors with the stamina for a two day intensive and the integrity to work with a partner.

Saturday/Sunday
June 29/29
10am - 5pm both days
