Playshops - Spark Your Creative Vision
E. Amato & Sweet Entertainments

Do it yourself! Workshops for all ages and levels with Fringe favourites: devlop writing, performance, analysis and more! Tap into your source with fun exercises to bring out your unique potential.

Aug 13 & 20
Spark Your Creativity is light-hearted session. We'll have a quick ponder on the meaning of creativity and tease the inner artists to come out & play trough images & music. We'll make collages, discuss our findings, bringing out that bit which may have been forgotten, just wishes to come out and play or find a new expression. Discussion and feedback from the group.

Aug 14 & 21
Charge Your Imagination will be further playing into the worlds of wonder. We will create our own little story book, through images and and/or text in a childlike way. New opportunities and doors to other senses are gently opened - be amazed at the worlds you find in the company of creativity! Discussion and feedback from the group.

Aug 16 & 23
Write Your Mind invites you to translate your creative urges into words and sentences by coaxing them out of hiding and flipping the fear of the empty page into excitement. For writers with a regular practice, Write Your Mind allows you to go more deeply into projects you are already writing, or lay groundwork for new ones.

Aug 17 & 24
Perform Your Work puts you center stage in a pas de deux with your own words to bring out your true voice. Replacing fear with connection, this workshop inspires even those without a performance background and can move any writer/performer to the next level. (Can be adapted for those who do not have their own content.)
