Have a creative itch you just can't scratch? Let Ellen Forney help you, tonight, Sunday, October 20th, at Town Hall in Seattle!
As Town Hall's fall season Artist in Residence, Ellen is joining forces with Cornish College theater professor Kathleen Collins to present "Scratch Night" — "scratch" is as in "scratch paper," like an experiment, Ellen explains, not like a scratchy wool sweater!
Together, Ellen and Kathleen will lead this dynamic, interactive workshop exploring the analogous skills and concepts that fuel their apparently disparate artistic mediums. “There’s so much acting in comics!” Forney says. “A cartoonist has to be the writer, director, and all the actors – just on paper.” No matter your preferred medium/practice — performance, literary, visual arts — breaching traditional boundaries enriches our experience of creating and understanding.
So, bring a sketchbook and your favorite pen or pencil, and wear comfy clothes! The fun begins tonight at 7:00 PM. This event is FREE and open to the public, and you are strongly encouraged to "RSVP" so they have an idea of how many people to expect. Beautiful Town Hall is located at 1119 Eighth Avenue, Seattle.
