Kari Margolis draws upon 20 years of theater-making when she describes Margolis Brown's creative process. Where do ideas come from? What makes theater a visceral, intuitive experience? Margolis Brown Adaptor’s award-winning original works start in the studio -- four walls and a room full of actors. Through a unique collaborative and improvisational process, they emerge as precisely staged, total theater events that are rich in imagery. Video highlights of the Company's work provide stimulating examples throughout the workshop.
"Four Walls and a Room Full of Actors" can be booked by itself or in combination with other residency activities.
