Create Dangerously

This workshop is designed and led by award-winning actress and playwright Kate Pendry. The course is for stage performers who want to take more risks in creating their own material.

Course Outline
During the first part of the course Pendry will give a presentation of how she became a creative, and the controversies she has faced – particularly with her controversial works about Baneheia, pornography and Vladimir Putin.
The participants will then explore the context of why they choose to create, and what the purpose of professional performing is in an age when everyone is performing online.

The second part of the course will be a deep dive into finding material to write about, culminating in two days of writing/performing sessions. The focus will be on finding the nexus between disciplined writing and acting skill, inventive language, and daring to take risks.

On the final day of the course the participants will give a work in progress-presentation of their new works during the Oslo Fringe Festival.
