Meet Our Instructors! Lisa Sanaye Dring will be teaching our upcoming course, Writing Beyond the Proscenium, where students will have a chance to explore writing for "non-conventional" theatre spaces. Lisa has made theatre for nursing homes, gardens, bars, cars, virtual reality universes, earbuds, fields, warehouses and performance venues. She was honored as a recipient of the 2020/21 PLAY LA Stage Raw/Humanitas Prize. "The Wicked One" was a finalist for the Relentless Awar...d, a finalist for the Bay Area Playwrights Festival, a finalist for the Seven Devils Playwrights Conference and a semi-finalist for the O'Neill Playwrights Conference. "Kaidan Project: Walls Grow Thin", a play she co-wrote with Chelsea Sutton, was nominated for 8 Ovation Awards including Best Production (winner of 5). Lisa's work has been developed/produced by The New Group, Actors Theatre of Louisville, East West Players, Circle X, SCF @ Son of Semele, Playwrights’ Arena, Rogue Artists Ensemble, The Motor Company and Theatre of NOTE. Lisa is co-writing the next chapter of Kaidan Project as an augmented reality project, an EWP/Rogue Artists collaboration coming in October. She is a MacDowell Fellow, a member of EWP’s Writers Group and will go to Yaddo in 2021. Lisa co-founded and co-directs Rogue Artists’ Rogue Lab, an incubator for hyper-theatrical new work. She serves as the Associate Artistic Director of Circle X Theatre Co. Register for her upcoming class here: https://eastwestplayers.coursestorm.com//writing-beyond-th
