The Duchess of Malfi & From The Well:
Interactive Art @ BSM coming This Fall!
BSM is excited to announce another artistic collaboration coming your way this fall! The Duchess of Malfi is the story of a young widow who marries against the will of her two powerful brothers, and then finds herself thrust into a world of spies, deceit and peril. An interpretive twist on John Webster’s thrilling tragedy, Philadelphia Artists' Collective's (PAC) inaugural production promises to be a breathtaking piece of theatre.
Performances begin September 23rd (which is already sold out!) and continue through October 9th.
In addition to performances of The Duchess of Malfi on-site at BSM, BSM's Facilitator of Transformative Arts, Becca Blake, and PAC's Artist in Residence, Martin Campos, are collaborating to bring you an extraordinary seminar, From the Well, that will integrate your personal exploration of the creative process with a behind-the-scenes look at the production of The Duchess of Malfi--a first for us and an incomparable experience for audience members!
Do you find yourself doodling at work, but have never thought your skills were "good enough" to take a drawing class?
Do you love reading anything and everything, but haven't really considered writing your own poetry, fiction, or memoir?
Do you have an interest in painting, sculpting, or photography that you haven't explored in ages (or ever!)?
Then this seminar is for YOU!
Drawing inspiration from time spent in open play rehearsals, we will be exploring the creative process from the inside out, focusing on a quick and intuitive work rather trying to create perfection.
We'll have ample time to work in whatever genre of art you desire--poetry, drawing, painting, fiction, sculpting, memoir, even photography. In addition to time to create (with accomplished artists on hand to help you), we'll be hosting rich and lively discussions about the insights gained from exercising our creative muscles.
We'll have four sessions throughout September, culminating in a special exhibition of pieces created during the seminar, to be unveiled to the public on September 29th, with a talk-back with the actors and directors.
In addition to workshops on Wednesday nights from 7:30-9:00p.m., there will be an optional open rehearsal on Tuesday nights from 6:30-7:30p.m.
Come on out & try your hand at something new--or revisit some old interests. We know it'll be an unforgettable experience full of creativity and quality instruction, fascinating theater, and engaging discussion.
All are welcome, and there are no fees associated with this seminar.
If you've got your own paper and charcoal, canvases and paints, notebooks and pens, bring 'em!
If you need help getting supplies, email Becca at becca@broadstreetministry.org, talk to her at Breaking Bread, or call 215 735 4847.
Our first session is WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 1ST @ 7:30 P.M.! Can't wait to see you there!
