This workshop is for anyone who is interested in creating a theatrical solo performance. You can be an actor, dancer, circus artist, musician, storyteller or anyone that wants to do something different.
The only requirement is that you have an IDEA. It can be a prop, a movement, a word, a thought, etc.
Michelle Matlock will lead the group through a creative process that she has used to develop her solo work for the past 20 years (Check out her projects and results here ). This process includes theater games, exercises and discussions that provoke, material development, build characters, motivation, storytelling, stage presence, writing and of course just getting on your feet and starting.
It all starts with what motivates you! Creating an original new work is a journey that requires a safe and open space with constructive feedback. This workshop is exactly that and much more.
Michelle will lead 1 three-hour workshop per week for 9 weeks. During the 10th week, each participant will present up to 10 minutes of new material at a Work In Progress Showcase (free invite-only, family and friends) at Black Box Theater (In the Pantages Theater building).
Each participant will get a digital video of their own performance.
8 students required. 10 max.
WORKSHOP STARTS TUESDAY MAY 28TH 6:30 PM TO 9:30 PM AND CONTINUES EVERY WEEK ENDING ON TUESDAY JULY 23, 2019. Each workshop is designed to build on the last one, so please plan on attending all 9 dates.
The Work-In-Progress presentation will be the following week after the last workshop. Most likely on a Sunday afternoon.

Peaks and Pints wants to add a little wood to your Hump Day. Wait! Check that! Peaks and Pints wants to add bourbon barrel-aged alcohol to your Wednesday night.
Peaks and Pints will host a can release party for Tieton Cider Works Bourbon Barrel Peach cider at 5 p.m. Wednesday, June 5. Inspired, we’ll tap a few beers that have spent some time in spent bourbon barrels, too.
Why? Because barrel aging is totally a thing. Well, it has been for centuries. Before industrialization, Europeans fermented beer in wood, stored and shipped in wood, and poured directly from wood. Beer spoiled often. Life was hard. By the mid-20th century, most breweries had happily traded their temperamental wooden barrels for the reliability and convenience of metal tanks. Beer spoiled less. Life was decent. However, brewers and cidermakers have long known that wood-aging can add flavor and depth to beer, especially if said barrel previously contained bourbon. The result is a beer and cider more complex than most, as additional flavors bleed from inside the staves — deeper woody notes that play to the liquid’s base and an extended taste that finishes with a nip of booze.
This year, Tieton’s popular Bourbon Barrel Peach cider (6.9%) was aged in previously used Dry Fly bourbon barrels. Aging in bourbon barrels gives the cider deep, rich notes of vanilla and spice. We’ll tap it, as well as have cans for sale.
Other bourbon barrel-aged beauties on tap will include Anderson Valley Huge Arker Imperial Stout, Backwoods Stumbler Russian Imperial Stout, Black Raven Splinters Scotch Ale, Founders KBS Imperial Stout and The Lost Abbey Track #8: The Number of the Beast strong ale.
PEAKS AND PINTS BARREL AGED HUMP DAY, 5 p.m., Wednesday, June 5, Peaks and Pints, 3816 N. 26th St., Basecamp Proctor, Tacoma, no cover
Urban Craft Uprising is thrilled to be hosting the first Tacoma Spring Fest in the beautiful area of Point Ruston on Saturday, June 8th. We are so pleased to have the space to feature 75 handmade artists and makers, of the quality fans have come to know and expect from our shows. This new public mixed-use space has an amazing view of Mt. Rainier, and has many sweeping views of the water and the ridge lines, a public park right down the steps from where our vendors will be, and a long biking/walking trail spanning the waterfront. We’ll also have food trucks, and with the neighboring restaurants’ outdoor patios essentially serving as built-in beer gardens, we expect shoppers you’ll want to stay and make a day of it!
