Info for WORKSHOPS offered in conjunction with our touring show.
Acting and Performance:
    This physical workshop includes theatre games, which illuminate energy, ensemble, focus, creativity, and trust through stage movement, audience awareness, and improvisation.  This very theatrical workshop has practical applications.  The ideas explored relate to self-awareness, setting and achieving goals, teamwork, and creating in a positive environment.  Each session adapts to the participants. At times there is history, theory, song, dance, and drama but always all-out performance in this workshop where everyone gets their moment. Come dressed to roll on the floor, laugh, play, and have fun.

    HOW TO ORGANIZE A WORKSHOP IN YOUR AREA
    1. Choose a workshop.
    2. Choose a potential date and a backup date.
    3. Identify a potential site to hold the workshop, and email me their contact information.
    4. I'll lock in the date, and location, and I'll set up a web page for student registration.
    5. Let people in your area know about the event by email, phone, posters, press releases, or what you know works best in your community.  Sometimes it is as easy as calling friends. 
    6. Wait for the workshop to fill.
    7. Attend and enjoy the workshop.
    8. If there is enough interest, you might consider doing an ongoing class.  My favorite are production classes which end in performances.
    If you have any questions, email me or call.
