Overhead Projection Workshop with Claren Grosz

Claren Grosz, Dora-nominated overhead projection designer and creator of I love the smell of gasoline, will demonstrate how she uses overhead projectors to create a visual score and enhance storytelling. She will walk participants through various creative brainstorming exercises as well as practical tools like texture, depth of focus, found objects, negative space, framing, wet materials and MORE.

Students are encouraged to bring a notepad and pencil and one object they think would be neat to project. (Hint: transparent objects and objects with a neat silhouette are great!)

At Azimuth Theatre, we believe art should be accessible to all, regardless of financial circumstances. That’s why all of our tickets are based on a Pay-What-You-Can model. We understand that everyone’s situation is different, so we leave it up to you to determine the value of your experience.

While we suggest a ticket price to help cover production costs and support our artists, we understand that this may not be feasible for everyone. Whether you can give more or less, what matters most to us is that you join us in experiencing the magic of theatre together. No matter the amount, your contribution is valued and appreciated. Your support enables us to create meaningful connections, spark important conversations, and inspire change through the power of storytelling.
