Update: This workshop has been moved from its original date of 26 June and will now run on Sunday, 19 June at a new venue. See below for details.

How do our bodies in space tell a story? How can we challenge traditional approaches to scenework by using tools like pulse editing, mirroring, and overlapping scenes to take us somewhere we never expected? Using two long form structures as inspiration: Cat's Cradle (created by Charna Halpern) and Double Exposure, Amy Shostak will challenge you to find the stories in the images that are already there.
