About LIFE - A work-in-progress performance

Listed Under Theatre Events

Estelle models for The Artist. Despite decades of experience, she has never sat for a session like this and with such an outcome, both unexpected and inevitable. LIFE boldly mixes stillness, movement, silence, words and audience participation in creating theatre as art class, art class as theatre. You can join in, or simply watch the story emerge.

Join Maria MacDonell (Miss Lindsay's Secret) and Mark Coleman for a work-in-progress performance of this exciting new work. The performance will be followed by a feedback session to which all are invited.
