How does an emerging theatre artist begin to get professional work? What can an emerging actor do to improve when they aren’t working? Is your piece translating the way you want it to?
These are the types of questions we address throughout our season of workshops for emerging theatre artists. Take a look at what we have to offer this winter and spring to see what speaks to you.
Coffee with a Pro
Coffee with Director, Mariam Bernstein
Our informal mentorship series returns with new mentoring Artists!
On Dec. 6th we launch into winter with Coffee with Ann Hodges. Esteemed theatre Director, Ann Hodges will meet with four emerging directors to talk shop over coffee. Emerging artists get to know a professional in their field to discuss professional directing in a relaxed atmosphere.
We will arrange three more Coffee with a Pro sessions this season. One for aspiring Artistic Directors and one for emerging Playwrights. We are open to suggestions for the third one, so let us know if there is a professional artist you’d like to talk shop with!
The Actor’s Voice with Tom Soares
Tom Soares
In this workshop, you will be introduced to the basics of voice and text work for the stage. You will learn how the voice works, what can go wrong and basic voice and text technique. Participants will practice the basics of alignment, tension release, breath awareness and support, coming gently onto sound, projection (being heard), and work on clarity of thought through textual exercises. Participants are encouraged to bring in a monologue of their choice to work on. Monologues or a speech will be provided if participants don’t have one available.
Voice and Speech Coach and Theatre Educator, Tom Soares facilitates this workshop.
