“Performance/Text” will explore text as performance, performance as text, performing texts, reading performances, and more. Participants will look at performances that work with texts, discuss different elements of performance, and then experiment with application.

Participants should bring a text in progress that they are interested in exploring through performance. Workshop is capped at ten participants.
