What makes a good idea for a show?, can be a deceptively difficult question to answer at any stage in one’s career, but doubly so when there is the agenda of creating a show that is visually / physically driven. In this workshop Al will work with participants to explore approaches to identifying, developing and pitching concepts for future shows with presenting partners, audiences and collaborators in mind. Participants will be asked to arrive at the workshop ready to talk about an idea for a show they might want to make.
