A Theatre Conspiracy Workshop
Why be an audience member when you can be a participant? Part interactive game, part social discussion, part theatrical performance, Is Democracy Dead? is a workshop that invites you to care and connect.
This workshop uses improv and in-class exercises to explore the question: What makes dialogue interesting? Participants will have a chance to write new scenes or apply tools to existing works-in-progress.
Join us as we read excerpts of three published plays from three groups of South Asian artists. Chai/Snacks and conversation to follow the readings.
