2021 David Ford Class Performances – Fall

The Marsh Berkeley, San Francisco

ALL PATRONS COMING TO THE THEATER MUST BE FULLY VACCINATED AND SHOW PROOF OF VACCINATION ALONG WITH VALID ID DURING CHECK IN BEFORE THE PERFORMANCE. 

We require that patrons wear a face covering over their mouth and nose while inside the building at all times in our theaters.

David Ford has been collaborating on new and unusual theatre for three decades and has been an artist-in-residence at The Marsh for most of that time. The San Francisco press has variously called him “the solo performer maven“, “the monologue maestro”, “the dean of solo performance”, and “the solo performer’s best friend” and a week rarely goes by when residents of the Bay Area can not enjoy one of his productions. 

Students will start with their own script, idea, character, etc. and create a twenty-minute performance piece. Topics will include: getting out of your own way; writing and improvising; the narrator as a character; the difference between psychology and art; relating to the audience.
