What’s Going On

Our next training series is Creating a Character and runs 2/10, 2/11, 2/12, and 2/13 from 6:30-9pm at Play House (12657 Moran St). Join Hinterlands’ Co-Director Liza Bielby for a workshop series exploring physical strategies for creating dynamic and engaging characters. Explorations start from one’s own body and move through puppetry/object storytelling, larger-than life figures, mask, and the clownesque. Drop-in IS allowed, but because everything builds you’ll want to come to all four sessions. Entire workshop: $0-$250 (sliding scale based on economic need and geography); Per session: $0-$65 (sliding scale based on economic need and geography)., thanks to a Community Center Grant from the Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Development. Ages 18+; all experience levels welcome.
