The Stissing Center for Arts & Culture – 2950 Church St, Pine Plains

Downtown Upstate will offer a free two-part Solo Performance Workshop at The Stissing Center for local residents, led by renown performance artist Lenora Champagne! In this free workshop entitled Performing the Real: Solo and Alternative Performance, Participants will create a short solo performance and learn strategies for structuring larger pieces with exercises that engage the body, imagination and memory. Contemporary experiences, classic characters, and social concerns are integrated in a way that foregrounds each actor’s individual voice, rhythm, and dynamics. The process involves improvisation (movement and text) and re-working material. This event is free and open to the local community. Participants must register for both sessions on September 11th and September 18th, 4 – 6 pm.
