Soaring Solo Studio’s SOLO LAB, workshops FOR Solo Artists BY Solo Artists. This webinar focuses on where to start with creating a Solo Show.

You know that you want to write and perform a solo show, but the task feels daunting.

You sit at your computer with your fingers on the keyboard and you don’t even know where to begin.

You have this urge to tell your story from stage, but you fear that you don’t have anything interesting to say.

You’ve written various excerpts, but you don’t see how it will possibly turn into a One Person Play.

If any of this sounds familiar, this Solo Lab is perfect for YOU.

In this Solo Lab, participants will focus on how to jump start their solo show creation process and make some serious progress in just 90 minutes!

Here are some of the things this webinar will cover:

  • Discovering the WHY behind your Solo Show.
  • How to identify and eliminate blocks to making progress as a Solo Artist.
  • Writing prompts and playwriting structure to help you discover your story and start to envision how you will shape it.
  • Support in identifying an inspiring goal and putting a meaningful stake in the ground.
  • Finding your story through characters, props, wardrobe, personification and more.
  • How to theatricalize your story so that it is as entertaining as possible.
  • Making Solo Dates to actually make progress on your goals.
