Come join us on November 7th at 9am for On & Off the Page. It is an interactive writing and performance workshop designed to build a bridge between a screenwriter’s work on the page and actors’ work off the page.

Upon registration, writers will submit their scene and character descriptions to be anonymously assigned to an actor (or actors) which will be performed during the workshop. Screenwriters witness their words transformed by an actor who breathes life into their screenplay. Writers and actors will exchange feedback before receiving insight from the attendees and workshop facilitators: Joseph Vivens @josephvivens (award winning director/producer), Mimi Lam, MFA @mimilam79 (Actor/Director), Sadhana Jackson-Vivens,MD @sadhana_jackson_vivens (award winning producer).

This will be an exciting opportunity for creatives to collaborate, network and hone their craft! Registration link in bio. #ONandOFF #writer #actorlife #dmv #dmvwriters by @dcstagesociety

A space where you can take risks without being judged.

That was one participant’s takeaway from our acting coaching lab—and it is exactly the kind of room we aim to create.

A place to try, stumble, ask questions, make discoveries, and keep coming back to the work.

Interested in joining a future lab? DM “LAB.”
