The eight-week-long Solo Workshop is designed to generate new material, support projects already in development, and offer accountability. It is ideal for anyone who wants to create a solo show: storytellers, monologists, poets, comics, clowns, actors, and writers. Reserve your seat by contacting Kim Porter at [email protected]

Using guided visualization, games, group feedback, and improvisation, participants explore the craft of story-telling while developing their own solo piece. The workshop is designed to meet the artist where they are with customized, intuitive prompts from the instructor.

The solo workshop culminates in a showcase which is open to the public.

Coaching writer/performers since 1997, Kim Porter has been instrumental in the development of hundreds of plays and solo shows, many of which have gone on to tour fringe festivals and have had long runs with critical acclaim.
