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. \nThese 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? \nFar 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. \n[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text] \nAbout Ron Daniels\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text] \nRon 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 Clockwork Orange. \nBefore moving to England\, he began his career in his native Brazil\, where he has since directed numerous Portuguese productions\, including his co-translations of King Lear\, Hamlet\, Macbeth\, and Measure for Measure\, as well as Colm Tóibín’s The Testament of Mary. In the United States\, Ron is a former Associate Artistic Director of the American Repertory Theatre where he directed numerous productions and has also directed productions for Theatre for a New Audience\, Public Theater\, Guthrie Theater\, Old Globe\, and Shakespeare Theatre Company. \nHis extensive credits in opera and musical theatre include productions with Houston Grand Opera\, San Francisco Opera\, Washington National Opera\, LA Opera\, English National Opera\, Santa Fe Opera\, Cincinnati Opera\, Seattle Opera\, and Opera Theatre of St. Louis\, among others\, as well as the critically acclaimed world premiere of Daniel Catán’s Il Postino at the LA Opera in 2010\, with Plácido Domingo in the role of Pablo Neruda\, which was revived internationally in Vienna\, Paris\, Mexico City\, and Santiago\, Chile. \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_column_text] \nRegister Now\n[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text] \nParticipants\nEnrollment is limited to 14 actors.

We’ll do a quick (optional) check in at the beginning. You can feel free to share an intention for the time (or not.) And then work\, cameras on or off. We’ll reconvene around 10:50am to report back or check out. Again\, that’s optional. \nCome and go as you wish. Feel free to use the time and accountability in the way that best serves your artistic purposes. \nSessions this month will take place December 9\, 16\, and 23.

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. \nWhat is standing in your way in your acting? What might you be holding on to that you no longer need? \nBy 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.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text] \nCOVID-19 Safety Policies\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]For this workshop: \n\nAt-home rapid covid test required before each session\nMasks optional\nDaily health screening questionnaire\nLarge studio\nWindows and portable HEPA/equivalent air purifiers\n\n[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text] \nAbout Ken Barnett\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Ken Barnett is an actor\, acting coach\, and teacher of Dreamwork for Actors.

In my experience\, when an actor is in service to a script there is nearly always a transformation in relation to how they speak. Sometimes it can be quite clear because a dialect is required in relation to where the event takes place. Other considerations can be status\, gender\, age\, and tactical i.e. code shifting.” \nOver two days\, Beth will guide participants in exploring the psycho-physical relationship we have with our own idiolect\, as well as looking at questions of how the understanding of this cellular relationship can be liberating in terms of transformation\, and encourage a robust embodiment in relation to accent and dialect work. Areas of investigation will include: experiential anatomy\, breath and vibration\, articulation of phonemes\, prosody\, vowel and consonant systems and their relationship to each other and finally\, the transformation of sound into image as spoken in ‘the word’.  Sessions run Saturday and Sunday 11:00am-3:30pm with a half-hour break for lunch. \n[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text] \nCOVID-19 Safety Policies\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]For this workshop: \n\nAt-home rapid covid test required before each session\nMasks optional\nDaily health screening questionnaire\nLarge studio\nWindows and portable HEPA/equivalent air purifiers\n\n[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text] \nAbout Beth McGuire\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Beth McGuire has worked as a vocal and accent/dialect coach both on and off Broadway\, in regional theatre\, and in film and television for over 30 years. She was on the Yale School of Drama faculty for over 20 years and recently joined the faculty of Juilliard Drama Division. Beth lives in NYC and has a private practice teaching and coaching.

Alexander’s own quest began as an attempt to solve his vocal issues. Later on he realized that breath\, body and voice were all part of the same organism\, all deeply connected to his thinking. In order to look at voice and breath we need to understand how the body works. The body produces the voice. In this workshop\, Fabio will guide an exploration of ideas and activities that will encourage our bodies to release in order to produce sound and movement with more ease and flow. Whether on stage or on set\, the principles are the same. A freer body will produce a freer sound. In the latter part of each session\, participants will be invited to bring in film or TV sides to work on-camera and explore adjustments in the work. Sessions run weekly\, 10am-1pm.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text] \nCOVID-19 Safety Policies\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]For this workshop: \n\nAt-home rapid covid test required before each session\nMasks optional\nDaily health screening questionnaire\nLarge studio\nWindows and portable HEPA/equivalent air purifiers\n\n[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text] \nAbout Fabio Tavares\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Fabio Tavares (he/him) is a queer Brazilian artist who’s been obsessed with the human body in action from a very young age.

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. \nWhat is standing in your way in your acting? What might you be holding on to that you no longer need? \nBy 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.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text] \nCOVID-19 Safety Policies\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]For this workshop: \n\nAt-home rapid covid test required before each session\nMasks optional\nDaily health screening questionnaire\nLarge studio\nWindows and portable HEPA/equivalent air purifiers\n\n[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text] \nAbout Ken Barnett\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Ken Barnett is an actor\, acting coach\, and teacher of Dreamwork for Actors.

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. \nThese 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? \nFar 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. \n[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text] \nAbout Ron Daniels\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text] \nRon 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.

Alexander’s own quest began as an attempt to solve his vocal issues. Later on he realized that breath\, body and voice were all part of the same organism\, all deeply connected to his thinking. In order to look at voice and breath we need to understand how the body works. The body produces the voice. In this workshop\, Fabio will guide an exploration of ideas and activities that will encourage our bodies to release in order to produce sound and movement with more ease and flow.

In order to look at voice and breath we need to understand how the body works. The body produces the voice. In this workshop\, Fabio will guide an exploration of ideas and activities that will encourage our bodies to release in order to produce sound and movement with more ease and flow. Whether on stage or on set\, the principles are the same. A freer body will produce a freer sound.
