CANCELED – A Workshop for Transforming Personal Narrative into Theater

Portland Center Stage 128 NW 11th Avenue, Portland, OR, United States

From 9 Parts of Desire to verbatim documentary plays, audiences adore the theater of personal narrative. But what is the process of listening to someone's story and turning it into a performance? In this workshop, participants will interview each other, paying attention not only to plot points but also gesture, posture, and vocal inflection. Participants will then have an opportunity to perform their interviewee's story as their interviewee, and to see their own stories performed by someone else. Lindsey Mantoan is a an Assistant Professor of Theatre and Resident Dramaturg at Linfield College. Her book, War as Performance: Conflicts in Iraq and Political Theatricality, analyzes the plays and performances that responded to the 2003 US invasion of Iraq.
