“the job of the artist is to make the revolution irresistible” - Toni Cade Bambara
Cabaret’s origins is one of speaking to power, calling out for change and giving voice to the voiceless through humour, pathos & playful exchange. There is no better time to join the cabaret & lift your story to the light!
Cabaret Creations is an emergent process where students co-create a Cabaret performance to be produced professionally. The heart of this class is to express the true spirit of Cabaret whereby entertainment is the byproduct of a process of unmasking, digging deep and finding the crux of each performers expressive longing and then, collectively supporting the emergence of a shared work that speaks to the breadth & depth of the human experience.
Creative team includes Jenny Clark & Monique Salez.
*Following the great success of 2024’s class creation The Existential Drive-thru, we may have to curate this year participants by way of an audition.
12 week :: Sundays 10am - 12pm

What to Bring
We are creating a playground for your inner creative so think sensorial to create a sweet spot of deep aliveness & coziness. Layers of clothing as we move through waves of warm-ups & quieter creation modes. A journal & writing utensils that make your process an artform in itself. I like colorful thin nib pens & big black art books with no lines…what do you like? Tea, chocolate, apples, or any snacks that fuel the fire. Finally, please bring your whole self including the nerves, the stories & an open mind to throw into the center of our creative circle as we let the process & our love of performative storytelling challenge, engage & delight us.
