From Empty Space to Epic Story – Building a Solo Performance 
 
What do we need to tell a story? How can we make something out of nothing? 

​ Catherine Dyson (Writer/Performer, Platfform Artist, Theatr Iolo, Cardiff, Wales) 
will take participants through a series of practical writing exercises exploring ideas of writing and presentation, content and form, as well as unique approaches to generating and presenting material. The exercises will demonstrate how our own lives and memories can be used as a powerful source for drama, how 'instant stories' can be created by using language in unexpected ways, and how the form and shape of writing can reflect its content.
The workshops will build towards each participant writing a micro solo performance. We will then work with simple performance and devising techniques to bring each piece to life, showing how stories of unlimited scope can be created in an empty space, using only our words and bodies.
