"Theatrical Alchemy: Transforming lived experience into compelling theatre"

Theatrical Alchemy aims to inspire artists, producers, educators, and dramaturgs alike with tools and processes to coax creators from the ‘swamp’ of raw lived experience into the ‘promised land’ of refined storytelling.
By modeling the dramaturgical process, starting with personal experience, participants will be guided through the excavation process using replicable tools to transform their personal writing into a compelling piece for an audience.
