The art and craft of theatrical adaptation is as old as humankind. It is one of the ways we transmit, celebrate, refresh, reframe and challenge the narratives and myths around which our communities are built.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What distinguishes dramatic storytelling from other forms and disciplines? Adapting for the stage gets us thinking about what a play is; what a play does. In this workshop, we will be weighing the building blocks and pertinent features of an original or \u2018source\u2019 document against the dramaturgical requirements of its new theatrical shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You are invited to unlock and explore the theatrical possibilities of a work not originally intended for the stage; a novel, short story, poem, essay, song\u2026anything actually!\u00a0If your source material happens to already be a play, then you will be examining and extending its theatrical potential \u2014 from play to musical for example; or old chestnut to bold new spin. Whatever your angle, it\u2019s welcome!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each session will be built around group discussion, exercises, sharing and feedback. Participant-generated material, as well as selected readings will serve as our inspiration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Come with your ideas, your visions, your instincts. Or come with a project already launched. This workshop will meet you where you are in your process and will ignite, animate, and further your practice of theatrical adaptation.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
