theatre dybbuk at MJM | Heritage, History, and Humanity: A Masterclass Workshop
Mon November 18 @ 18:00 - 20:00
theatre dybbuk specializes in using historical narratives that intersect with considerations of identity and heritage to illuminate the forces at play in our contemporary societies.
In this workshop, the artists of theatre dybbuk take participants through a process in which they gain tools to investigate their own personal and/or communal narratives, texts, and turning points as vessels to create new theatrical work that explores the complexities of our world. Aaron Henne, founding artistic director of theatre dybbuk, will facilitate this masterclass.
The free session will use a combination of writing, vocal work, and movement-based techniques. Click here to reserve your spot.
Accessibility: Please note that our building is not currently accessible to visitors with limited mobility. This workshop will take place on the second floor and ground floor.
