Do Art Again
A Mini-Retreat for
"Former Performers"
(Re)discover the part of you that loves to perform! Join theatremakers Elle Lagalante & Crystal-Marie Alberson for a mini-retreat including vocal coaching, performance games, and a capstone showcase for friends and family.
What's This All About?
As theatremakers and performers ourselves, we know that life can pull you away from your performing arts practice. And when it happens, it's like a part of you is sleeping and you can't figure out how to wake it up. We designed this weekend-long mini-retreat to jump-start your return to your craft.If you've ever watched someone onstage and thought, "wow, I miss doing that," but have felt overwhelmed at the idea of starting over, this workshop is for you. That's because the best way to start over is, well, to start! That's why we'll be working in a small group (no more than 12 people) to rehearse and perform a showcase of your favorite songs for an audience of your friends and family.Here's what we'll be doing:
• Ensemble- and community-building activities
• Small-group workshopping sessions to hone and shape your song into a small performance piece
• Individual coaching to answer lingering questions about your piece
