Workshopping Your Concept: Tools to Take Away with Arthi Chandra

So you’re got an idea- fantastic. But how do you sharpen that idea into something that you can share with others? Why is your work necessary at this given moment in time? How can you ground an idea and allow it to take root? How do you allow the core of your concept to guide you through a creation process where there are infinite possibilities? Using various strategies from her own training as a devising artist and a director, Arthi will lead you through the process of fleshing out an idea on your own.

This workshop will focus on how to clearly articulate the core elements of your work in order to communicate with collaborators, producers, and granting bodies.

Bring a pencil and some paper (no laptops please).
