Theatre Junction GRAND is pleased to present William Yang’s China running February 9-13, 2010. As part of our ongoing 09/10 Masterclass Workshop Series, William Yang will be giving a workshop to the arts community on his unique blend of story-telling and photography.
William Yang began his career as a playwright based in Sydney, Australia. In 1974 he embarked on a career as a freelance photographer. In 1989, Yang began performing monologues alongside projections of his photographs, integrating his skills as a writer and visual artist. This unique performance style won Yang international acclaim and he has since become one of Australia’s most toured performance artists. In 1993 he was awarded International Photographer of the Year at the Higashigawa-cho International Photographic Festival.
This Masterclass is open to performers, writers, visual artists, and anyone interested in learning more about William Yang’s process. Participants will be asked to bring a minimum of two photographs, one which depicts their grandparents’ generation and one which depicts contemporary life, along with a short family story that accompanies the photograph. Two or three participants will then be chosen during the course of the workshop to develop their photographs and stories into a performance.
When: Saturday, February 13th from 1:00pm-4:00pm.
Where: The Studio at Theatre Junction GRAND, 608 1st Street SW, Calgary.
Cost: $45
