Welcome to PlayWorks Ink 2009
PROCESS OF ILLUNMINATION
WE TRY TO AVOID IT BUT ITS HOLD ON US GROWS STRONGER. |
What if we allow ourselves to be a little bit vulnerable, a little bit brave? What if we explore the shadowy cracks and crannies of humanity, society, and our identity? If we shine a light into those corners we may be surprised by what is revealed…
Illumination does not happen spontaneously. It is the result of a process of awakening — unique to every individual —
that grows our humanity, our artistry, and our community. Let PlayWorks Ink be the catalyst for your own process of illumination.
Theatre Alberta and the Alberta Playwrights’ Network are thrilled to present Canadian award-winning playwright Colleen Murphy, renowned for creating work that braves dark questions and kindles meaningful engagement with audiences. Jillian Keiley of Artistic Fraud will lead a master class in kaleidography and chorus. Alberta Theatre Projects graciously sponsors our keynote address and reception, and the Glenbow Museum’s sponsorship and involvement with PlayWorks Ink reaches exciting new heights.
Join us in Calgary for this inspiring weekend of workshops, play readings, discussions, and socials.
| Be brave. | Face your fears. | Embrace the darkness. |
“Art is a ripening, an evolution, an uplifting,
which enables us to emerge from darkness
into a blaze of light.” –Grotowski
