The Creative Truth (ETCETERA PERFORMERS LAB)

Information

The Creative Truth Workshop Series from TheWorkingPeoplesTheatre is designed for the makers, the storytellers, and the creatives who are ready to take their work to the next level. Whether you are an aspiring performer building your craft in a practical and supportive environment, a professional or creative looking to command a room with real presence and narrative power, or a writer and storyteller ready to bring your work off the page and into the body, these workshops meet you exactly where you are. Through structured improvisation, ensemble performance, devising from lived experience, and techniques rooted in immersive and verbatim theatre principles, you will walk away with sharper skills, stronger instincts, and a creative voice that lands.

The Working Peoples Theatre is a theatre company focused on community voices that have something vital to say. We make theatre born from real voices, real stories and real lives. We use verbatim techniques to transform lived experience into electrifying performance that forces audiences into conversation through bold, modern storytelling.
