Untamed Pages III: The Rehearsal

Alserkal Arts Foundation supports socially engaged, multi-disciplinary practices and facilitates cross-cultural exchange through its four core initiatives: public art commissions, residencies, research grants, and educational programmes.

Alserkal Arts Foundation

A playwriting workshop for writers, artists and actors; untethering architects of the page and stage.

‘Please silence your phones; the stage is set for rehearsal’. How do we infuse the essence of ‘play’ into playwriting? Writers, artists and performers are invited to join playwright, screenwriter, and visual artist Rebecca Crookshank as she guides us through the dynamic world of the rehearsal room. This marks the third instalment of the Untamed Pages series where we continue our exploration of the craft of playwriting, rooted in the celebration of kinship and mythologies woven into our everyday lives. Beginning with a series of theatre games and playful improv, the workshop invites us to untame the rituals of stagecraft and trace the dramatic arc sparked during the rehearsal as it carries through to the live performance.Throughout the workshop you’ll have the opportunity to immerse yourself in your creative process, encouraging exploration and growth. Note: We kindly request that you arrive on time to ensure a smooth experience for you and your peers. Please dress comfortably and bring an item of clothing, costume or accessory that resonates with your performance persona.
