REHEARSAL

REHEARSAL is a WIP performance series where 2 artists each present up to 30 minutes of material followed by an hour of feedback with the other artists/or audience facilitated by me, using the Liz Lerman Critical Response Process. I lead these workshops in 6-week cycles, where two artists present each week and present twice over the six weeks. Another variation of this workshop is a weekend intensive, where, over the course of 2-3 days, up to 6 artists present work on a monthly basis. Workshops range from $300-$360 with flexible payment plans offered.

REHEARSAL is for Artists who...
✩Want to try something out in a safe space
✩Are in a developmental stage of their work and are looking for feedback
✩Are in need of a boost to push their work to the next level/stage
✩Crave structured feedback from a range of voices
✩Like the idea of an open mic but are horrified by the 3-5 minute limitation
✩Are traumatized from art school crits (lol)
✩Write/think about performance
✩Desire the community of a built-in cohort

This workshop is open to all performance makers …. visual artists, clowns, comedians, singers, dancers, mimes, musicians and MORE! 🤡even (ESPECIALLY) if it’s your first time 😏

1:1 Support

I am an outside eye with an intimate knowledge of performance process and I can see things from many angles. I am able to quickly shift from micro to macro and easily understand how details function within a larger composition. I can help you anticipate potential logistical, narrative, scenic, choreographic, or spiritual problem areas — and help you resolve these. The process is intuitive and personal. Using my prior training as a birth worker or “doula,” attending to families and individuals in the process of literally giving birth to their children, I bring a unique set of tools to help artists navigate the exciting, laborious, and sometimes painful experience of birthing a new project. I take you and your art — no matter how scattered, silly, or chaotic — very seriously. :)

If you’re in an early stage of your process, I listen and reflect back to you what is exciting and energetic. I ask questions and serve as a sounding board and guide. I help you hone and organize your thoughts so that you can commit to your process. I give you next steps to follow. If you’re coming to me with work that is in a later stage, I am available to witness and refine. I offer thorough notes, punch-ups, suggestions, fix-its, and more. None of this is prescriptive or planned. I don’t use the same set of prompts or exercises for my clients. Every artist and artwork needs something different, and I take the time to figure out what that is, balancing the needs of both YOU and YOUR WORK. Most importantly, I am encouraging. Making art, especially if you are inside of it as the performer, can be extremely scary, confusing, and lonely. I’m here for all of it.

I have no desire to imprint my taste or opinions onto your work. I provide a container for you to define your work for yourself.
