A five-week class for actors, directors, designers, writers, makers and humans: find the words for what only you can see.
Your perspective on the work is the one thing no one else can bring. This class nurtures it, sharpens it, and gives you the language to share it: with collaborators, in a pitch, in feedback, and with an audience.
“In my decades in this field, I’ve found that when the spotlight turns on, we often stammer, can’t quite explain what we’re thinking, or end a lot of sentences with ‘does that make sense?’”
Kimberly Senior
The work
Clarity and heart
We’ll work on existing material and on our own. We’ll revisit familiar analytical tools, try new ones, and build systems of our own for analysis, communication and critique.
Along the way we’ll take on the questions behind dynamic storytelling, and mine our work for both clarity and heart.
You don’t need to be a working artist to take this class, though everything is approached from an artist’s perspective. Much of what we work toward is who we want to be in the world, what we want to say, and the most articulate way to say it.

From a past participant
“Kimberly Senior is a master teacher with an immense insight into human behavior, vulnerability, artistic growth, and self-expression. She creates an intimate, collaborative, and empowering space for creatives to let their guards down, drop into otherwise neglected musings and potent ideas, and claim their personal mission with integrity, clarity, and impact. And she does it in a way that feels so inviting, easy, and joyous. I could not recommend taking her workshop enough. I still have deep ties to the individuals whom I experienced this program with and we all honestly wish we could take it again. Part Two perhaps?”
