BMCC Tribeca Performing Arts Center
The Writers in Performance workshop is designed to give writers the opportunity to explore performing their written pieces. Whether they are playwrights, poets, monologists, writers of prose, or spoken word artists, this workshop gives the writers an opportunity to create a performance piece out of their writings. Workshop participants are chosen on the strength of their writing plus either performance ability, or willingness to explore that aspect of creativity. The workshop mixes professionals with students. The workshops were conducted during the fall 2020 via Zoom. The pieces were videotaped on stage, camera, people’s phones, Zoom, and an animation.
