What happens when theatre artists have no stage, no props in props storage, and no costume shop? In this immersive workshop, high school students will explore the resourcefulness and imagination that have shaped performance traditions for centuries. Working outdoors and drawing inspiration from the natural and built environments around them, participants will devise short theatrical pieces using only what they can find in the immediate space itself. Through collaboration, creative problem-solving, and a spirit of play, students will discover that compelling storytelling doesn't require elaborate resources—just curiosity, ingenuity, and a willingness to see the world as a stage. This workshop will take place both indoors at Calliope Stage and also venture outdoors around downtown Sylva. There will be short, informal presentation of the participants’ work at 4pm on the second day.
