The Green Room is a series of (mostly) free events, coordinated by TACTICS in collaboration with different theatre artists and groups across the city, for the entire Ottawa theatre* community. A mix of social events, professional development workshops and performance opportunities, the Green Room is a place for us to connect and grow—as individuals and as a community.
Upcoming events:
Devised Theatre – shaping unusual narratives.
(A code for tickets is at the end of description if you need it.)
- In this 90 minute workshop, we will look at alternative tools to shape stories whose impulses don’t start with a plot or a defined character.
Topics:
– choosing ( or finding ) a connecting device.
– working multiple storylines
– editing techniques
– the try and change method
– how a theme shapes a story
– the importance of controlling your rules of time + space.
The Facilitator:
Ludmylla is a poetic storyteller who strives to be creatively brave at every project. They have lived on two different continents and said goodbye too many times. As an artist, their goal is to make us question what we think we know. Ludmylla believes that exploring our emotions and beliefs is a political act.
