Creating Performance Texts: Collaging, Sampling, Writing

What does writing for the performing arts involve? Collecting memories, rephrasing nightmares, conducting interviews, transcribing rehearsals? Working with archive material, descriptions of photographs, lists, lyrics, manifestos and speeches? A real or imagined life, a multitude or a single point of view?

This workshop explores how fragments of text—from different times and sources—can be brought into dialogue. Participants will search for mutual references and connections, create transitions and ruptures, shape them into a form, follow a dramaturgy, ultimately discovering how they might evolve into a unique kind of story.

The workshop is intended for theatre directors, dramaturges, playwrights, poets, and visual artists who are professional practitioners, having staged a performance or theatre piece, published their writing, or exhibited their work.
