Bloody Brilliant! Fake Wounds Workshop with the Drama School

Join OISS for an inside look at the brilliance that happens at the David Geffen School of Drama at Yale!

Just in time for Halloween, join Jen McClure, Associate Chair and Properties Supervisor for the Yale Rep and Drama School as she walks us through into how to make fake wounds out of latex. Participants will have the opportunity to follow along and create their own fake wounds. Participate or observe, all skills welcome! Come learn from the Professor who actually wrote the textbook “Bloody Brilliant: How to Develop, Execute, and Clean Up Blood Effects for Live Performance.” We will also get a short tour of University Theatre where the event will take place. 

Please be aware latex will be used. Spaces are limited and you must register to attend.
