In winter 2013 Red Umbrella Project is offering a five-week improv storytelling workshop series in collaboration with the Housing Works’ Trans Evening Program in NYC.
Want to find out what all the fuss is about improv? Interested in getting creative and practicing some performance skills? Would you like to try storytelling in front of an audience of your peers? Our improv and storytelling workshops might be for you.
This free workshop will meet at the Housing Works Building, 320 West 13th street, in the Cafeteria on the 4th floor. Each session will meet on Fridays, from 3:30-5 pm – and everyone is welcome to stay for a meal afterward. We will meet February 8, February 15, February 22, March 1, and March 8. Workshops are open to trans and gender non-conforming people, and there is no prior experience with theater or performance needed. You can come to as many or as few of the sessions as you want.
This workshop is facilitated by Ceyenne Doroshow (author of Cooking in Heels: A Memoir Cookbook and trans activist) along with the combined efforts of Nicolette Dixon, Leah Page, and Amy Sawyers (Masters students in the CUNY Applied Theatre program).

We will be offering more storytelling workshops in the future, as well as an 8-week memoir writing workshop this spring, if this session isn’t the right fit for you. Please join our mailing list to get more information.
