Machine Theatre has announced another series of free actor training workshops (donations accepted!) in mosaic technique, led by Laurelei Ballard – just one of her many acting credits, includes her five years with Cirque Du Soleil – Oct. 5-6 at Story Slam! (1401 Central Ave., Ste. 103).

The first workshop, on Oct. 5, from 6 p.m.-8 p.m., will focus on mosaic technique, “a post-method approach to emotional accessibility,” as Machine Theatre’s latest press release explains. “Participants should come prepared with a monologue they would like to explore (preferably one they have yet to work on. Additionally, participants should bring an open mind, a notebook and pencil, and dress comfortably.”

The second workshop, on Oct. 6, from 6 p.m.-9 p.m., will concentrate on the tape method, described as “an innovative strategy for quick and effective memorization and a free rehearsal process.” Machine Theatre suggests, “Participants should come with a 2-3 person scene they’d like to approach but have never done before.” Those attending should also dress comfortable and come to the workshop prepared to work.

For more information on the workshops, call 704-582-2645 or email machinetheatre@gmail.com.
