WORKSHOP ONE
Bringing a Storybook to Life Ages 9 - 11 years 9am - 12pm In this workshop we will work together to develop our theatrical storytelling skills through games and activities, and take a classic storybook from the page to the stage. Young actors will share a lot of laughs as we play our way through skill building games and then apply it all to transforming a beloved storybook into an interest new performance text to share with our families.

WORKSHOP TWO
Directing for Actors Ages 12 - 16 years 12:30pm - 3:30pm The best way to truly learn and remember a skill is to teach it to someone else. In this workshop our actors will have the opportunity to put this into practice by looking at the craft of acting through the eyes of a director. As a director we must explore and understand the big picture of a performance text, not just an individual role. When an actor learns to approach rehearsing as a director might, it leads to greater collaboration and elevated performances. In this workshop actors will have the opportunity to work on short scenes, both as an actor and a director, to learn and develop these advanced skills, and have a lot of fun and laughs as we do. |
