Adriana
currently teaches a weekly workshop
in creative writing and improvisation
to a group of six teenage girls, living
in a group home, in Los Angeles. Adriana
leads the girls through a variety
of experiences through story-telling,
story-making, and developing characters
through improvisation. Her intention
is that the girls have the opportunity
to discover, experience and express
their uniquely vital voices, while
having a lot of fun in the process.
Create
Now! is the organization
that hosts this exchange. For more
information about the wonderful work
founder, Jill Gurr, and her staff
are doing check out:
Adriana teaches solo
performance workshops designed to
give each participant a sacred space
to bring voice to the stories that
need to be told. Often
there are the stories we want to tell
and the ones we have to tell.
The ones we have to
tell are usually the ones that hold
some kind of medicine, not just for
the teller, but for the listener as
well. Adriana uses a unique blend
of movement and written exercises
to support and challenge each storyteller
to find the story and then shake it
loose.
Playwriting
Adriana guest teaches
playwriting classes that focus on
bringing the body-mind wisdom to the
page. Using a variety of exercises
to enliven the playwright’s
physical awareness, and activate their
senses, these classes give the writer
an opportunity to write from their
hips.
Adriana is currently
guest teaching Solo Performance and
Playwriting workshops at California Institute for the Arts
and UCSB: University of California at Santa
Barbara.
