Performance Workshop June 19

Burning Man Special Events Team is supporting a number of free, interactive workshops -- by burners for burners -- designed to share the skills and expertise of our community.  These workshops are intended to further the principles of gifting and radical self-reliance using tools that are readily available.
 
Workshop #5 : "How to Create Performance Art for the Playa"
Saturday, June 19, 2010
6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. (pre-event workshop)
The Concourse Exhibition Center
635 8th St (enter on 7th St at Brannan)
San Francisco, CA 94103
 
Dr. Wendy Clupper will lead a workshop entitled: "How to Create Performance Art for the Playa". It will explore the possibilities for creating spontaneous interactive theater at Burning Man. There is a rich history of performance in Burning Man's nearly 25 years and we all can be a part of it! On the playa, you don't need a stage to perform. Burning Man is a cityscape that invites and encourages its own unique street theater. This workshop is for anyone who wants to develop the skills to engage other participants on the playa in both playful and theatrical ways. We will be using theater exercises and techniques in both partners and groups to create solo performances that we can try out at PreCompression and in anticipation of Metropolis. Come participate and discover the playful performer waiting inside you. Wendy is a long-time burner, a performer/director and Professor of Theater History whose dissertation was entitled: The Performance Culture of Burning Man.
 
This workshop will take place in the two hours prior to PreCompression.  Space is limited, must be 21 and over.  Reservations required.  Please RSVP to Terry Penn helpishere@sbcglobal.net .

Join Tiny Tropolis!

Are you looking for a GREAT way to contribute to the art on the playa this year?!
Join Tiny Tropolis!  We are one of the Black Rock Arts Foundation's 2010 honorary art installations and we need artists to help bring our tiny city to life!

From a distance, Tiny Tropolis appears as a row of identical white boxes that have been secured, one after another, upon a structure stretching out over 80 feet across the playa. The heart of Tiny Tropolis lies within, and passersby will need to get in close to experience the richness of this installation. Each box contains a DIORAMA constructed by a different individual artist (that's you). It is truly community-based- a collective project that funnels the artistic spirit of people across the planet into the most celebratory, albeit tiny, block party to hit the playa yet.

JOIN OUR TINY TROPOLIS FAMILY!
