Make a Scene
With midterms behind us, are you looking ahead to holiday drama? We can help you make a scene (consequence-free) this fall with two new performance-based workshops.
Flip the Script to discover how the same words can convey radically different meanings using just your voice and movement. In One Minute Monologues, distill your story and experience to connect with others in only sixty seconds.
Previous performance experience is welcome but not needed: these workshops are great for anyone looking to sharpen their communication skills, flex a new creative muscle, or add to their performance toolkit.

Cook Up Something Creative
Do you have a killer recipe for seven-layer dip? How about one for homemade ink? Instructions on how to write a haiku, tie a bow tie, or make a mysterious crop circle on someone's farm?
The Division of Philanthropic & Alumni Engagement (PAE) United Way committee is working on a recipe book as a fundraiser for the United Way, and they need your contribution.
Food or drink recipes are great, but this recipe book is open to how-to's of any kind. Go on and get creative: you can submit as many entries as you like.
-
Send the text of your "recipe" as a Word doc or in the body of an email to Rick Antolic at rta8@pitt.edu
-
Please attach an image to accompany your text. Photos must be original (not taken from the Internet), and can be of any part of the process: the finished product, an "ingredient," or maybe a selfie of you engaged in the process.
Submissions are due by Tuesday, November 30, so get cooking!
