    As part of a series of events on women, society and the arts, writer/performer Haerry Kim will lead a workshop on how to transform personal stories into performance. The workshop will include ways to create characters, observation of voices and bodies and using the imagination to investigate the literal. Participants will also consider the many sites and places where inspiration can be found—diaries, news events, family histories—and what it is that makes one want to tell a story. Participants from all backgrounds and levels of experience should come with a story to tell and be ready to explore.

    Haerry Kim is a founding member and the artistic director of ETS Theater Company (established in 2009) and a full-time lecturer at Kookmin University in Seoul, South Korea. She received an MFA in acting from Columbia University. With ETS (Eye to Soul), she has created three full-length original plays: FACE, Serve God: Sounds of Nightingales and Bathtub Play. Her one-woman play FACE has been presented at the 2011 World Festival of National Theaters at the National Theater of Korea (Seoul), HERE Arts Center (New York), the sixth solo NOVA Festival (New York), the Berkshire Fringe Festival (Massachusetts) and the 2010 Edinburgh Festival Fringe (Scotland) to critical acclaim.
