Do you want to explore the creative process behind musicals? Or are you an enthusiast and scared of trying it out yourself? Learning is within your reach! You are invited to attend the Theatre Making Movement to explore how movement can become a powerful storytelling tool. You’ll have the opportunity to expand your creativity and professional development. In this week-long symposium, you will get to work, collaborate, and learn from leading choreographers and composers from around the world! The journey that the creative team behind the Theatre Making Movement encountered and overcame. The importance for creators to write what’s in their heart instead of lowering their ceiling of imagination and creativity. Exploring the importance of movement as a language of humanity and how that needs to be incorporated in creating musicals at conception. A little about the Theatre Making Movement: Theatre Making Movement is the brainchild of Director and Dora Award winning Choreographer Stephanie Graham (Fun Home, Grey Gardens, Wild Party- The Musical Stage Company) and performer, writer, and filmmaker Sarah O’Brecht (Charlottetown Festival, Neptune Theatre, Stage West Calgary). The idea was born when the two were discussing the creation of new Canadian musicals over a lunch break while working at the Globe Theatre in Regina, Saskatchewan. They observed that Canadian musicals are not being developed with dance as a part of the conversation. Canada has some of the best choreographers, movement practitioners, and dancers in the industry, yet most of our new musicals do not use this aspect as a storytelling device. Spaces are limited, so early registration is recommended. The Conversations and Watch Me Work are presented virtually and are free of charge. The Classes are $22 and in held in person at Metro Movement, 833 Broadview Ave, Toronto, ON. To register visit: www.theatremakingmovement.com Follow the Theatre Making Movement!
