Join us for a special Stage Readiness Workshop with international performer and teaching artist Gemma Soldati. This three-hour session is all about play, preparation, and building confidence for your big night at Not Afraid to Fail Fest.

Through improv and clown-inspired games, we’ll shake out the jitters, explore our strengths on stage, and refine our material in a supportive environment. Together, we’ll hone our performances while collaboratively uplifting one another because stepping into the spotlight doesn’t have to be a solo act.

With Gemma’s guidance, we’ll cover:

• Tricks of the trade from clown performance

• How to make bold entrances and exits

• Cultivating presence on stage

• Overcoming self-doubt and leaning into authenticity

This workshop is open to all experience levels whether it’s your very first time performing, or you’re looking to sharpen your stage presence. All you need is an open heart and mind, and the willingness to play.

Details:

• Date: Saturday, September 28

• Time: 1:00 PM – 4:00 PM

• Location: Queerlective CoLab, 46 N. Main St, Concord, NH

We’re excited to create a space where performers can take risks, grow, and celebrate each other’s voices. This workshop is the perfect warm-up before taking the stage at Not Afraid to Fail Fest and beyond.

Come ready to play. Leave ready to shine.
