I am excited to share that as a current graduate student in the Master of Fine Arts (MFA) Theatre Education and Applied Theatre program at Emerson College, I am hosting a series of free, virtual workshops this fall to explore themes of connection, belonging, and empathy as part of my MFA thesis project (more details about the project are below, including a downloadable version of the call).

Interested in being part of the free series? Have a friend you think might want to join us? Please contact me at melissa_bergstrom@emerson.edu if you have questions or you would like to learn more, and I would be happy to connect.

A huge thank you for considering!


About the Workshops
​

Applied Theatre utilizes theatre games, storytelling exercises, and a variety of creative activities in nontraditional theatre settings, adapting them for a variety of purposes, including exploring self-expression, cultivating empathy and connection with others, and working towards social, cultural, or political change. 

As part of her MFA Thesis Project this fall, Melissa Bergstrom is facilitating a series of three, free virtual workshops that use community-based story circles, storytelling, writing prompts, and drama exercises to explore themes of connection, belonging, and empathy.

Seeking Participants 

Melissa Bergstrom is currently seeking six to eight participants, who are:
  • Age 18 or older;
  • Interested and available to attend all three virtual workshops (all dates / times below). The final workshop will include a sharing session at the end, during which participants will get the opportunity to share their stories for a small invited audience.

There is no cost to participate, and no theatre experience is necessary. All participants must sign a consent form.

Workshop Dates 
  • Sunday, September 19th, 3:00 - 5:30 pm ET
  • Sunday, September 26th, 3:00 - 5:30 pm ET
  • Sunday, October 3rd, 3:00 - 6:30 pm ET (The last hour will be the informal sharing session for a small invited audience.)

    My name is Melissa and I'm an actor, playwright, author, filmmaker, and teaching artist who wants to help you discover, cultivate, and care for your creativity. 
     
    What does being creative mean to you?

    How do you play every day?

    This is a space for taking a break, a breath,  and finding ways to flex our imagination and find the joy where we can. 

    ​No one is going to present us with a ready made creative life--we have  to step up and gift it to ourselves. I'm so glad you're here.
