Description
Writing Solo Shows
With the unique perspective of having written and performed 5 critically acclaimed and celebrated solos shows spanning three decades, Diane Flacks can help you develop, hone, and creatively embrace yours. From her first shows Myth Me and By A Thread, to her latest show, Guilt (a love story) which premiered at Tarragon last season, Flacks has crafted solo work that is audacious and funny, and that has spanned styles including: multi-character, single character, fictional, autobiographical, plot-driven, and revelation-based, expanding and exploring the genre in comprehensive ways. It’s not a genre for the faint of heart, but it can be uniquely connected and satisfying both to the artist and the audience. It is also a visceral way of finding your own voice as a writer/performer, and tapping into what matters to you as an artist. All of those goals will be explored in this workshop – for emerging or established artists.
