Brooklyn Reading Works presents Inner Lives Out Loud! Readings from Regina McBride’s Inner Lives Developing Characters Workshops with Stefania Amfitheatrof, Louise Crawford, Ann Marie Cunningham, Stephanie Hart, Margaret McIntyre, and Jennifer Wortham.

Using relaxation, sense memory, and emotional memory (Stanislavski acting techniques transformed for the writer) Regina McBride, the author of The Nature of Water and Air, The Land of Women and The Marriage Bed, offers a variety of exercises she’s developed to enable the writer to find a deeper, richer connection to the character he or she is creating.

These exercises are followed by writing periods, and opportunities for people to read and share their work. The atmosphere that Regina creates is safe, with the focus on exploration. Her class is designed to help the writer break into new territory with the character, and with the story itself.

Longtime participants in these workshops will read on Thursday March 27th at 8 p.m. at the Old Stone House @ Fifth Avenue and Third Street.

$5 donation. Light refreshments and wine.
