Motion Workshops
Free space for your workshops!
Theatre Momentum is seeking improv and theatre
directors/coaches to teach workshops at the
TM Studio. We'll be blocking out 8
hours/week for these workshops, beginning in April.
And you get to design it!
We're looking for coaches with workshops they'd like
to teach to improvisors or actors. TM will provide the space for
free, promote it to our mailing list, post it in our programs, and
generally help you get butts into the workshop.
Okay... what's the catch?
One free pass to your class. That's all. We will end up giving that
away to potential students who attend our
Kinetic Jam, which will expose your class to some folks who
might otherwise not have been able to experience it. Times are
tough, and we're all broke actors!
The cost of renting a space can get pretty obnoxious, so if we can
make it a little easier, we want to. We keep our rental rates low,
and we've started this program to give back a little to the
community.
Okay, not buying it. What's in it for you?
You're right. We do get something out of it. When you have a
class in our space, we get more people exposed to the
TM Studio, which hasn't even been
around a year yet. The more exposure we get, the more renters we
get, the better for us. But you're getting something out of it, too.
Win-win. Ta-da.
Big deal. What else?
Well, being a part of this program gives TM a chance to learn about
you as a director/coach, and when more opportunities open up in the
future, we'll have you on our speed-dial. We have big plans, and the
more directors/coaches we get to know, the better. We already have
our Kinetic Jam, for which we're
looking for coaches, and that's just a small start.
Anything else I need to know?
Well, given that we want to give a chance to as many
director/coaches as possible, we're limiting the class lengths to 3
weeks maximum. The individual class can go however long you like
(2-3 hours is pretty standard), but we want to get to know you
before we start doling out blocks of 6 months of class space.
When will these begin?
We'd like some lead time to post and promote the classes, so
we're scheduling workshops about two months out. We're looking at
beginning the workshops in mid-late April, so please get in your
submissions as soon as you can! If you can't commit to a workshop
time this early in the year, that's fine- we'll be running this all
year long, and you can submit for workshops later in the year, as
well. If you wish to submit early for a workshop later in the year,
that's completely fine, too.
How do I get involved?
Send us a brief bio and a summary of your class, as you'd like
it to appear in promotional materials and this website. Let us know
the duration of the class- is it a one-time class, or more than one
week of sessions? When would you like it to be scheduled, ideally?
TM will review your submission and let you know if we have a spot
for your class, and take it from there.
Contact TM at
info@theatremomentum.com to submit your class. Thanks! |
