Arts / News Free actor training workshops
Posted By Anita Overcash on Tue, Aug 11, 2009 at 10:00 AM
Machine Theatre announced it will be offering free actor training workshops on voice, body and ensemble creation on Mon., Aug. 17 and Tues., Aug. 18, from 7 p.m.-10 p.m. at Story Slam, which is held at 1401 Central Ave., Ste. 103. Read more about the workshops in the press release below.
Machine Theatre is offering two nights of free actor training workshops. These two evenings will be the first in an on-going series of open workshops led by Machine Theatre company member Barney Baggett. Barney Baggett holds an M.F.A from the prestigious Delle Arte’ International School of Physical Theatre and will be directing Machine Theatre’s up-coming production ThomThom(if that bird won’t sing).The workshops are divided into two nights:
Monday August 17th – The Art of Play- Stop acting and start playing! This workshop will empower the actor with the skills necessary to abandon the self and engage what really matters: the play. Learn how the game works, how winners often lose, and how losers sometimes win.
Tuesday August 18th – The Dynamic Performer- Inspired by giants of 20th century actor training Carlo Mezzone Clementi, Jacques Lecoq, and Carlos Simioni, this work incorporates principles of clown, butoh, and mask to arm the performer with an intuitive strength, a vivid dexterity, and the joy of imbalance.
These workshops are free and open to the public but space is limited. Please email machinetheatre@gmail.com to reserve your space. For more information about Machine Theatre’s Actor Training program, future productions, and community involvement programs, please contact Matt Cosper at 704-996-3432 and visit http://www.machinetheatre.org.
