Performance Workshop Tim Miller

Mon - Friday
9 - 12
5 sessions

$350

Workshop will meet at the Art House in Provincetown

This workshop is for people to gather together and explore creating original performances. The goal is to share a variety of strategies to create original performances from the tremendous energies and stories that are present in people’s lives. Using personal memories and myths as a jumping off point, participants will see where a deep sense of one's own history creates performance that jumps out from the body onto the stage or the page. This will be an intensive week culminating in an ensemble-generated public performance. The workshop will address key questions of queer identity and will culminate in a public performance at The Provincetown Art House.

Tim Miller is an internationally acclaimed solo performer hailed for his humor and passion. He is the author of several books including 1001 BEDS, which won the 2007 literary prize for best Drama-Theater book from the Lambda Literary Foundation. He has taught at UCLA and Cal State in Los Angeles.

He will perform a Solo Performance Called LAY OF THE LAND on Wednesday August 25 at the Art House in Provincetown at 7:00 pm

LAY OF THE LAND

Celebrated for a diverse body of solo performance exhibiting the confluence of the personal and the political, Tim Miller brings his newest work, Lay of the Land, to Provincetown this summer. Lay of the Land is Tim Miller's funny and sharp-knifed look at the State of the Queer Union during these challenging times. Leaping from a Prop 8 protest to memories of an elementary school flag monitor to a difficult conversation with the California Republic bear, Lay of the Land addresses the feeling of queer people being perpetually on trial, on the ballot, on the menu. Tim Miller is an internationally acclaimed solo performer and award winning author, whose theater works have been presented all over North America, Australia, and Europe.
