Not F*ing Around LIVE! the 7Questions of Creativity

The 7Questions of Creativity LIVE! Goes to the Theatre

Whether you're producing a one woman show, starring on Broadway, writing your first monologue or pushing through your current production, tapping into your creativity is absolutely key. The ones who bend (or break) the rules and shine their punk rock hearts these are the ones who kick ass in the world. And make a difference. (And get paid.)

If you're
- stuck in the muck
- losing sight of your vision
- lost in indecision
- discouraged, overwhelmed or frustrated
- in need of an Awesome Infusion from humans who know the score

It's time to pick up some wisdom from people who have stepped into their dreams. And are making it happen. For. Real.

Not F*ing Around LIVE! The 7Questions of Creativity is a panel discussion with local theatre superstars. These questions drill into ideas, techniques, perspectives and actions that work.

Instead of banging your head against the wall (more than necessary), pick up some rocket fuel. Fire up your mission. Blast off into your true potential.

PANELISTS

Angela DiMarco

When shes not acting up a storm, shes teaching local artists to Be Mighty at her studio. Angela diMarco is obviously Not F*ing Around.

Lovecraft: Stand-Up Comedian!, Balconies, Duel of the Linguist Mages, and many, many others. His works have been nominated for the American Theatre Critics Association's Steinberg New Play Award and the Gregory Award for Outstanding Playwright. Scotto knows a thing or two about writing theatre. And getting his ideas onto the stage.

Desdemona Chiang
What do you do if you get a degree in Biology and Theatre, Dance and Performance Studies? If you're Desdemona Chiang you head to grad school for an MFA in Directing, score a Gregory Award for Outstanding Direction, do a whole lot of miles between San Francisco and Seattle, co-found a mission based theatre company called Azeotrope, and direct a serious ton of awesomeness along the way.

Kelly is a Gregory nominated director and the winner of the Gregory Award for Outstanding Director. Shes an all-around powerhouse with a big and beautiful vision.
