In 2010 I had the privilege of participating in the New Dramatists Composer-Librettist Studio (CLS), presented in cooperation with Nautilus Music-Theatre. Today I’m thinking about CLS cause they will soon be starting up/and I wish I could participate again.
During an intensive two week process CLS brings five New Dramatists playwrights and five composers work with an amazing posse of professional performers together to explore & create work. CLS is Facilitated by the great Ben Krywosz and Roger Ames/who work you so hard and fast and beautifully that in a blink (and a lot of sweat) participants accomplish way more than can be imagined.
