Workshop Information

Acting Fun and Games: Imagination, Ensemble, and Character Tools

Beginning, Intermediate, Advanced / Acting, Dance, Musical Theatre
Presented by Rebecca Rich Joy

We will learn acting technique (Michael Chekhov based), build ensemble and individual characters through imagination games and exercises, using both mind and body. Super fun stuff! The Michael Chekhov Technique is a psycho-physical technique that engages both the body and the mind in developing character through imagination and movement. The workshop is open to any level of experience, from young student to seasoned educator. Any short bit of memorized text (from a monologue, or a poem, or almost any few sentences+) is helpful in applying the technique, but not required. Bare feet, socks or soft-soled shoes and clothing that gives one the ability to move are preferred (but not required).
