Want to find out what all the fuss is about improv? Interested in getting creative and practicing some performance skills? Would you like to try storytelling in front of an audience of your peers? Our improv and storytelling workshops might be for you.
In February and March 2013 we did a five week pilot session in collaboration with Housing Works’ Trans Evening Program.
This spring and summer we are continuing the program, with workshops two Fridays a month, May through August. We will meet at the Housing Works Building, 320 West 13th street, in the Cafeteria on the 4th floor. Most sessions will meet on Fridays, from 3:30-5 pm – and everyone is welcome to stay for a meal afterward. Workshops are open to trans and gender non-conforming people, and there is no prior experience with theater or performance needed. You can come to as many or as few of the sessions as you want.
This workshop is facilitated by Ceyenne Doroshow (author of Cooking in Heels: A Memoir Cookbook and trans activist) and Nicolette Dixon, who has previously performed at the Red Umbrella Diaries and is receiving her Masters in the CUNY Applied Theatre program this May.
Upcoming sessions will take place on the following dates:
- Friday, May 10 and Wednesday, May 22
- Friday, June 7 and Friday, June 21
- Friday, July 12 and Friday, July 26
- Friday, August 9 and Friday, August 23
