Acting

Rotate Theatre Acting Workshops offer consent-conscious activities that utilize and reflect on a variety of acting tools. The workshops invite artists to embrace curiosity, collaboration, and multidirectional learning. Each acting workshop series is built around a theme.

Writing

Rotate Theatre Writing Workshops offer fun, accessible ways to experiment with playwriting. Each workshop includes a rotating selection of activities utilizing writing prompts, tools from other areas of theatre (acting, design, etc), and contextualizing exercises that help us identify and shape the messages of our own developing plays.

Consent for Collaborators

During our productions, we utilize Consent for Collaborators workshops developed by ensemble member Cyra K. Polizzi. These workshops are intended to be fun, accessible, and to lay the groundwork for safer, freer, more equitable collaboration that supports nourishing storytelling and breaks from oppressive dominant norms.
