Zoom Workshop Ron Daniels: The Soliloquy 5 Week Workshop Dates & Times Wednesday, November 9, 2022 – 3:00pm-6:00pm ET Wednesday, November 16, 2022– 3:00pm-6:00pm ET – Break for Thanksgiving, No Session – Wednesday, November 30, 2022 – (Cancelled) Wednesday, December 7, 2022– 3:00pm-6:00pm ET Wednesday, December 14, 2022– 3:00pm-6:00pm ET Wednesday, December 21, 2022– 3:00pm-6:00pm ET (Added) This workshop will take place on Zoom. All company members are invited to observe. About the Workshop Acclaimed international director, teacher, and Honorary Associate Director of the RSC, Ron Daniels, returns to The Actors Center for a series of five Wednesday afternoons devoted to Shakespeare's soliloquies. In a collaborative workshop format, each taking turns with the text, we’ll explore moments where both the character and the actor find themselves in a unique situation: alone on stage with nobody but the audience. These are moments when the narrative of the play is suspended and a character confides his or her innermost thoughts with the audience and simply tells the truth, without equivocation. But who is “the audience”? And is the identity of the audience always the same or does it change for different characters and under different circumstances? And above all, if the character is truly engaging with the audience, should we not rather think of these moments as imaginary dialogues between actor and audience instead of as lonely soliloquies? Far from the rush and tumble of the rehearsal room floor and the need to quickly find results, Ron will gently guide participants through unraveling a series of soliloquies, not from an academic, but from an actor’s point of view, inviting greater awareness of moments of possibility and discovery, enhancing the richness of text, and in service of the actor's ability to inhabit Shakespeare's language and make it truly your own. About Ron Daniels Ron Daniels is an Honorary Associate Director of the Royal Shakespeare Company, a distinction he received after fifteen years directing many RSC productions and serving as Artistic Director of RSC’s The Other Place Theatre. His work with RSC has included two productions of Hamlet (one with Roger Rees and one with Mark Rylance), The Tempest (with Derek Jacobi and Mark Rylance), A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Julius Caesar, Timon of Athens, Pericles, Romeo and Juliet, Much Ado about Nothing, Richard II and Henry V along with plays by Stephen Poliakoff, David Rudkin, David Edgar and Naomi Wallace, including Anthony Burgess' A...

In-Person Workshop Ken Barnett: Dreamwork for Actors 4 Day Workshop Dates & Times Thursday, November 10, 2022 – 2:30pm-5:30pm Monday, November 14, 2022 – 2:30pm-5:30pm Thursday, November 17, 2022 – 2:30pm-5:30pm Monday, November 21, 2022 – 2:30pm-6:30pm Lucid Body House, 230 Lexington Ave (at 34th Street) This workshop will take place in person. We are unable to accommodate observers for this workshop. About the Workshop “The dream is a theater in which the dreamer is himself the scene, the player, the prompter, the author, the producer, the public and the critic.” — Carl Jung Actor, teacher, and company member, Ken Barnett, leads a 4-day workshop devoted to Dreamwork for Actors. In this workshop, participants will be engaging with fresh material from their unconscious as delivered by a dream. This potent material provides the opportunity to drop into our most intimate inner lives. Working physically, Ken will guide participants in asking the thinking mind to soften in order to invite the truth held in the body to express freely. Discover what is within you that is longing to be expressed in your creative work, and unveil the unacknowledged patterns of thinking or behavior that are limiting you in your capacity for full expression. What is standing in your way in your acting? What might you be holding on to that you no longer need? By engaging with one's own dream material, the actor learns tools that can then be applied to any script in order to deepen the personal connection to your work. As is true with each dream, each role becomes a new opportunity to learn, grow, and move towards wholeness.
