From the Page to the Stage
How do actors bring written words to life on stage?
They use the three most important tools in theatre – brain, body
and voice – to animate the written works then enhance them with
costume and setting ideas. Bring your favorite poems, stories and scripts
to class. Work individually on monologues and as an ensemble on more complex
pieces. Come to a sharing session of our scenes and monologues on the
last day of class! Limit 12 students for these 7-week workshops.
