Kissing on stage can be challenging to approach. There are very few jobs where you go to work and are asked to kiss your co-worker. So lets talk about kissing. In this workshop we will explore best practices for approaching kissing in rehearsal and performance. Creating kissing choreography that meets the characters, stories, and actors needs. Techniques for clarifying and facilitating kissing choreography. Alternative options to kissing. Masking techniques for kissing. Please note that there will be no lip to lip kissing in this workshop. 

The workshop will be 4 hours.

The Fairy Who Cried Gems is a cross-cultural, sometimes verbatim folk-tale, memoir, and celebration of identity, created and performed by Lily Abha Cratsley. She serves as a storyteller, employing dialogue, music, and movement to transport the audience through the oral histories of Desi American women. Through this piece, Lily explores her contradicting identities and discovers how Desi joy can be built out of legacies of trauma.
