Description:
Nothing to Something: a 3-hour creative hustle
Enter with nothing. Leave with something. This workshop is an all levels speed-run to discover new ideas and build creative process tools. Pulling from personal memory, task-based theatre, chance, and the news, you will develop the start of something.
Expect to be actively engaged in solo and group exercises, fast decision-making, and happenstance challenges that irrevocably change your precious ideas. This workshop fuses anti-pretending techniques developed by the Neo-Futurists with modes of playwriting and devising to stoke creative inspiration.
This is for writers, directors, clowns, and creatives of any experience level. This is not about mastering a specific performance style or genre, but creating a springboard for your next project. Walk away with foundational tools to change up your creative process.
If you agree with any or all of these, then join:
My well of creativity is more of a black hole.
My creative toolbox feels more like a squeaky Fisher Price hammer.
My current idea, while brilliant, feels very similar to my last idea.
My ideas don't feel like they fit anywhere
I want new information; a different creative space than I'm used to; I'm bored; I'm curious; I want to be in a process that blends group and solo activities; I read every word on workshop descriptions.
“Adam is an incredible and generous teaching artist who creates brilliant, one-of-a-kind, striking theatre. A master at “high concept, but make it accessible.” He helps folks transform their work through the simplest, most absurd route forward.” - Natasha Mercado
Bio: Adam Smith is a Los Angeles-based, award-winning writer, director and performer. His work has been charted as "Low Brow/Brilliant" by New York Magazine's Approval Matrix. Together with Arletta Anderson, he devises work that's sometimes theatre, sometimes dance, usually in-between. His interactive theatre experiment, Play about a Woman, has toured the US and has been featured at The Lyric Hyperion.
He has taught writing, devised theatre techniques and creative process for over 10 years in San Francisco, Los Angeles and beyond.
Adam is a former member of the New York Neo-Futurist collective and was the founding artistic director of the San Francisco Neo-Futurists, most known for their long-running show The Infinite Wrench (fka Too Much Light Makes the Baby Go Blind), an ongoing, everchanging attempt to perform thirty original plays in an hour.
