LET YOUR BODY TELL THE TALE (with Grace Main)
How does your body language speak to the audience? Participants will learn how to find NEUTRAL physically, then build a character using movement. The workshop will end with a few scenarios where each participant tries new and very different physicalities as part of their character.
Saturday – September 28
PLAY with FOLEY (with MIKE IRVIN)
Mike will build from his previous RADIO PLAY workshops by having participants explore and try out specific FOLEY sound effects – many which can be created using household objects. Participants will then break off into several groups to create – rehearse and then record a radio play utilizing the learned foley techniques to enhance the radio play recording.
Saturday – October 12
WHAT A CHARACTER YOU ARE! (with KRISTY TAIT-ANGEL)

Saturday – October 19
MUSICAL WORKOUT (with DANI CORBISHLEY)
In this workshop participants will focus on the voice and how to get the most out of it. Discover methods to help with vocal projection, characterization, and care – and through proper breathing exercises and some fun vocal warm-ups discover the difference between projecting and shouting. Dani will also help participants explore how characterization can affect their voice, and group vocal blending.
Saturday – October 26
HERDING CATS and other FUN STUFF (with DAVE CORBISHLEY)
The director has completed the final rehearsal; now what? The Stage Manager takes over. In this workshop, participants will get some practical tips on managing a stage production (herding cats) and get to practice some of the processes that help a performance go smoothly. This is the ‘behind-the-scenes of theatre’ magic and can be a world of fun!
Saturday – November 9
DIG INTO THE ACTOR’S TOOLBOX (with BECKY SPARKS)
In this workshop participants will revisit some of the ways an Actor can and should warm up, relax, and explore words. They’ll have fun creating meaning from nonsensical scripts. Participants will work in small groups to rehearse and then perform small scenes or skits using the “stuff” in their ‘toolbox’.
Saturday – November 16
LOOK OUT SPIELBERG (with JANE STOTT)
In this workshop each willing participant will direct a short skit or play, while using the other participants as actors. There are lots of things to think about – but where to start? Put on your creative hat – Being creative and spontaneous are some of the best characteristics of a great director. You’ll get some wonderful tricks of the trade from this director’s chair.
Saturday – November 23
BROADCASTER BOOTCAMP (with VANNESSA TORRES)
Youth on Air! Experience the two sides of the video camera – be the reporter and conduct an interview and be the person being interviewed. Both can be nerve-wracking and yet both are very important skills to have, not just if you may want to get into TV Broadcasting, but for theatre auditions, job interviews and a whole host of other places where these skills can help you stand out above the rest.
