Talking About Your Work
Online Workshop
with Deepa Purohit
June 17, 6:30-8:30pm
June 17, 6:30-8:30pm
What are you working on right now? As an artist, how often do you get that question and find yourself at a loss of words? Where do you start? How much do you say? How do you share in a limited amount of time in formal and informal settings?
Join Deepa Purohit, playwright, educator and communications coach for this workshop to learn, write and practice how to talk about your work in a way that's compelling and leaves listeners wanting to know more, all in a limited amount of time!
During the workshop Deepa will guide you through structured exercises that will help you create "scripts" for particular audiences and circumstances and practice them in real-time with others.

Clowning Workshop & Show

June 24, 6-8:30pm
A fundraiser for Ania's trip to volunteer as a clown instructor in Sri Lanka
About the Workshop: This Clowning for Perfomers workshop is designed specifically for anyone with a performance practice wanting to explore or expand their clowning skills. We will use playful exercises to explore clown perspective, focusing on the clown’s relationship to audience and how to find joy on stage.
About the Show: Follow one clown’s magical journey across the landscape of gender in search of a place to call home with Transhumance.
In this all-ages show, award-winning clown Ania Upstill playfully explores what it means to be a trans human—or any human—in a society where the gender binary often blocks us from the richness of human experience. With performances from the Kennedy Center to New Zealand Fringe, reviewers have called Transhumance 'a work of joy and playfulness – whimsical, witty, and replete with wonder' (TheatreView.org.nz) and ‘[a] deeply personal story of self-identification and a universal experience of gender paradigms' (TheatreScenes.co.nz).'Winner of a Best Weekly Award for Circus and Physical Theatre at Adelaide Fringe in 2020 and Fringiest Fringe award at the Old Greeny Festival in Ithaca, NY in 2026.
