When you hear “one person show”, what does that conjure inside you? Excitement? Dread? Terror? “Oh lord I’ve sat through too many of these terrible things”? “If I did this for myself, what would I say and where would I begin?” These are all thoughts that I’ve had and continue to have, even after doing 5 solo shows myself. The process of creating, writing, producing, and performing alone is both daunting and thrilling. Only you can tell your story in your voice. This ShowShop! will help you find all of that magic and shed all your fears and self-doubt. We’ll explore different styles, discuss successful solo artists/projects and what made them so, and we’ll get you jump-started on your own piece. Also I’ll share my own experiences in creating my own work and the process of mounting my solo productions, finding the right space and director, and marketing. Sign up for Pupil’s Delight to pitch and get feedback on your material as it progresses!
