THE MAGIC THEATER WORKSHOP
WHEN: Saturday and Sunday, December 10 and 11. Saturday—noon-7. Sunday—9:30 am-1pm.
WHERE: The Southern California Institute of Clinical Nutrition, Carlsbad, CA 92008. 5670 El Camino Real, Suite B. The Institute is about 30 minutes north of the San Diego airport.
Workshop Fee: $150.
To keep costs down, I haven’t opted for holding the seminar in a hotel. Attendees arrange their own lodging, meals, and transportation. I can suggest one or two hotels/motels in the area.

I will be giving background on the Magic Theater at the workshop, but much of our time will be spent in hands-on dialogue between all participants, as they act out a number of roles. This isn’t the sort of seminar where the group sits back and takes notes all weekend.
I will offer plenty of grounding in how Magic Theater dialogue operates, because you can continue this work after you go home, by phone, with another person who was at the workshop. It’s my hope you’ll do just that—and I will be available to answer any questions that come up, if you do phone sessions. During the workshop itself, you’ll work with a steady partner, so you can get used to dialogues with that person.
There is nothing about this workshop that has anything to do with “professional training” as an actor. Nor will there be any criticism of the dialogues. The whole idea is to get further into the roles and the dialogues. This is an ongoing process.
Once you sign up for the workshop, I’ll send you a confirming email. Of course, if you have any questions, I’m here to answer them.
I believe this will be an historic occasion—the launch of the Magic Theater. It’s been a long time coming. Over the years, I’ve had conversations about such an idea, and I’ve read hints and clues that other people have offered in this direction. But this is a firm beginning, a take-off into greater realms…
I hope you’ll be here.
