Class: Lindsay Whiting - Living into Art: Journeys in Collage
Lindsay Whiting shows the Sonoma Collage Studio method—a process in which artists create collages and then hang them up to engage with the work. It provides a direct and powerful way of approaching your inner world and imagination by combining the art of collage with the art of dialogue. The class format is hands-on practice using magazines, calendars, and images. Whiting has six years of experience in collaging at the Sonoma Collage Studio. She is the author of Living into Art: Journeys Through Collage. New and continuing students welcome! Artists should bring 5-7 favorite magazines to cut for making a finished collage. Pre-cut images okay. Bring images to share. $5 materials fee due to instructor during first class.

Class: Nina Solomita - Introduction to Writing for the Theater
Discover how writing scenes for the stage is different from writing scenes for the page. This workshop will introduce you to the 3 Ds: Discovery, Decision, Doing that form the basis for powerful stage scenes. In addition, we will explore the concept of character masks: What face(s) do characters present to the world? What is the back story behind them? How do these masks crumble, melt, and fade as the action of the play progresses? You will be guided through short evocative writing exercises. Nina Solomita, MFA, has had plays produced in Massachusetts and California; her monologues were published in the ICWP Mother-Daughter Series, and she has taught playwriting at Pacific Repertory Theatre, Carmel.
