Comments on: Our Trip to Hollins for the MFA Workshop http://www.performers-exchange.org/2010/06/27/our-trip-to-hollins-for-the-mfa-workshop/ Charlottesville, VA-based Collective of Theatre Artists Thu, 05 Jan 2012 07:28:32 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Todd Ristau http://www.performers-exchange.org/2010/06/27/our-trip-to-hollins-for-the-mfa-workshop/comment-page-1/#comment-922 Todd Ristau Mon, 30 Aug 2010 14:41:45 +0000 http://www.performers-exchange.org/?p=657#comment-922 This workshop with our playwrights was one of the highlights of the summer! It was incredibly useful to the MFA students to get practical guidance in the disciplines of performance, to engage in the collaborative act of group script creation, and to engage one-on-one with a theatre comany that has put their ideas into action by creating, rehearsing, and touring their own plays. Very inspiring! We were doubly thrilled to have the entire company return two weeks later to give a formal presentation on the history of the company and discuss the process in more depth. I would strongly recommend booking a workshop with these talented women to any theatre program in the country, gradauate or undergraduate. They were delightful and easy to work with in every particular. Thank you for your energy, passion, and talent...and for sharing all of it with us so generously!
