CREATIVE CRISIS MANAGEMENT
In this seminar, Beth and Greg will give you tools to use when you're...

• overwhelmed
• blocked
• aiming too high (or not high enough)
• pain (physical and/or emotional)
• having too many ideas

How to transform F.E.A.R. (Fear, Ego, Attachment, Rejectivity) with L.O.V.E. (Love, Openness, Voice, Energetics) and supercharge your creativity for page, stage and life in general. Beth's even working on visuals to make the ideas more vivid.

And you can ask questions about specific projects or challenges you may be facing with:
• Standup
• Scripts
• Essays
• One-Person Shows
• Multi-media presence
• General creative alignment

Author/comedian Beth Lapides has been called “the high priestess of alternative comedy.” She's the host and creator of the seminal L.A. spoken word show “Say the Word” and “Un-Cabaret,” the storytelling standup venue that helped shape the work of Julia Sweeney, Margaret Cho, Laura Kightlinger, David Cross, Michael Patrick King and many others. Beth and Greg are teaching at UCLA Extension this summer. They've taught and spoken at Humber, CalArts, Brown University, Media Bistro, FitYoga Conference and others. In their private workshops they have worked with on-air talent from ABC, MTV, SCTV, Comedy Central and writers of "Mad-TV," "Undeclared," "Gilmore Girls," "Californication," "Dawson's Creek," "The Last Seduction," and "Bring It On," as well as many comedians, actors, attorneys, therapists, teachers and others.
