CREATING A SOLO SHOW
This workshop is designed to cover the solo show production process from thought to pen; covering such topics as one's motivations to write, creative visioning, owning one's voice, making the personal universal, creating a compelling story and determining the distinctions between a solo show and a solo play. This workshop event will be facilitated by Debra DeLiso, Iona Morris, and Terrie Silverman.
Debra DeLiso has been a theatre artist for over twenty-five years working as an actor, choreographer/dancer, director, playwright, and teacher. DeLiso has guided the writing and directed nearly 200 one-person shows at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, USC, and in professional theatres. DeLiso thoroughly enjoys the challenging and personal work of taking actors through the writing process into performance. She has written two of her own solo performance pieces, one about her mother, one about the visionary dance artist Isadora Duncan. She also conceived the play Cock Tales, an evening of wickedly original male monologues from some of L.A.'s best playwrights which ran for 10 months in Hollywood.
Iona Morris (For You and M.O.I.S.T) is a producer, director, dramaturg and actor for over 25 years. Morris has currently penned three one-woman shows and has been a contributing writer and director to several others. Some of her many TV credits include roles on The District, Cold Case, Law & Order, Moesha, and General Hosptial. Her extensive voice-over work includes the original voice of Storm from the X-men cartoon series, Medusa in the Fantastic Four and Robbie Robinson's wife in Spiderman, just to name a few.
Terrie Silverman is a writer, solo-performer, director, Artist-in-Residence at Beyond Baroque Literary Arts and is the Founder of Creative Rites Workshops & Coaching. Silverman's been teaching writing and performance for fourteen years to groups and individuals to release your inner-critic, access your authentic voice and become a brave, moving storyteller. She also has a Solo-Show Master Class and has helped develop and direct a number of award-winning solo shows. Silverman loves helping people discover they have a voice and that their story matters. She's facilitated workshops for the California Arts Council, Santa Monica Cultural Affairs Department, the Museum of Contemporary Art, The City of West Hollywood, the Los Angeles Women's Theatre Festival, The West Hollywood Book Fair, Screen Actor's Guild Media Access, the Independent Writer's of Southern California, LACAMFT- Expressive Arts, UCLArts & Healing, Senior Arts Foundation and Women in Theatre.
