Does your group want to create an original performance piece? My background as playwright, acting coach, and director offers you a one stop shop for an experienced facilitator of devised work. I bring writing prompts and exercises to get us creating raw material, offer research tips, while moving between brainstorming with pen & paper, and improvisations. Building trust within the group and is paramount, and you can bet my work as an Intimacy Director helps here as well. I have an effective tool kit to facilitate your group creating a unique and meaningful performance piece.
