The Beach Museum of Art is collaborating with K-State Theatre to bring Los Angeles-based performance artist/storyteller Dan Kwong to campus as part of its Silk Road through Kansas program.
Dan is offering Writing/Performance Workshop, Gallery Talk, and One-Man Show.
Two-night workshop, Tuesday, Nov. 27 from 7-10 pm and Wednesday, Nov. 28 from 7-10 pm in the Purple Masque Theatre. This participatory workshop is open to ALL students across campus, limit 16. Dan is particularly looking for a diverse mix of students across curricular areas and nationalities/identities to participate in his 2-night workshop. Students need not have experience in storytelling or performance to participate.
In this workshop students will learn how to develop personal stories using physical, vocal, conceptual, and emotional exercises designed to evoke stories and memories.
If you are a K-State student interested in the workshop and available, please email Theatre Program Associate Director Jennifer Vellenga [vellenga@ksu.edu] with the subject line, DAN KWONG.
