NEO-FUTURIST PERFORMANCE WORKSHOP, May 8th-June 26, Sat. 1-4pm

This is a great opportunity to work with the man who coined the term "Neo-Futurism" and long-time Neo-Futurist John Pierson, who have been teaching this class together for 10 years. Over the course of eight three-hour classes we will explore the basic theory and practice of Neo-Futurism - a new form of personal, immediate, non-illusory, audience-interactive performance. You will be introduced to classic Neo-Futurist exercises in task-based action, collage, self-expression, and absolute truth on stage. The class will also be given bi-weekly assignments to bring in original pieces exploring autobiography, audience participation, and site-specific staging. By the end of the workshop, you will emerge with a new handle on how to create an artistic response to your life and your immediate surroundings. There is no need to have acting experience, just the boldness and creativity to stand up and express yourself. All are welcome!
