Do you find yourself buying blank notebooks and 10 packs of rollerball pens? Perhaps you would like to write a play to perform or your add a chapter to your memoir? Maybe you need to apply for a grant for your short film? Or just do some of that onerous paperwork that comes with adulting? \nRebecca Harris continues hosting Study Hall\, a series of informal gatherings for company members to work on writing projects (or other tasks) you have in development. The idea is to support each other’s progress by providing consistent time\, space\, and community\, to use as you see fit. \nThe group will meet Friday mornings on Zoom from 9:00am-11:00am. In each of the sessions\, there will be 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. Then reconvene around 10:45am to report back or check out\, which is also optional. Please come and go as you wish and feel free to use the time and accountability in the way that best serves your artistic purposes.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text] \nAbout the Series\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Company CoLabs are a series at The Actors Center that offer a framework for collaborative explorations and community programming among company members.

Maybe you need to apply for a grant for your short film? Or just do some of that onerous paperwork that comes with adulting? \nRebecca Harris continues hosting Study Hall\, a series of informal gatherings for company members to work on writing projects (or other tasks) you have in development.

In each of the sessions\, there will be 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. Then reconvene around 10:45am to report back or check out\, which is also optional. Please come and go as you wish and feel free to use the time and accountability in the way that best serves your artistic purposes.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text] \nAbout the Series\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Company CoLabs are a series at The Actors Center that offer a framework for collaborative explorations and community programming among company members.

Over three days\, we’ll experiment with the play\, collaboratively exploring scenes on our feet and alternating roles (including across gender)\, all informed by Will’s unique and physically adventurous directing style. \nFrom Will Davis:\nThis piece has always compelled me. It’s a world where big emotions are forbidden and yet all anyone has in this play are big emotions\, which builds fantastic pressure inside the scenes. \nThe play is melancholy and strange\, it’s pastoral and poetic and it can also feel stilted and pulpy. All these things seem to crash together and create more of a dream logic to me\, than a naturalistic ordered play. The language can sound weird to our current ears. I like the opportunity it presents to create a world of emotion under the surface of the language and then use that language as a pressurizing force. As a result\, I find these scenes are great canvases to play on—they can hold as much as we want them to\, they’re very malleable. \nThis play is all in the subtext. It’s a very internal dreamy play that at first seems to be all surface. A mentor once told me: Inge is America’s Chekhov and Picnic is his masterpiece. I agree. \nSessions run Saturday and Sunday\, 10am-5pm\, and Monday\, 5pm-9pm.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text] \nAbout WIll Davis\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text] \n\nWill Davis is a transgender director and choreographer focused on physically adventurous new work for the stage.

Do you find yourself buying blank notebooks and 10 packs of rollerball pens? Perhaps you would like to write a play to perform or your add a chapter to your memoir? Maybe you need to apply for a grant for your short film? Or just do some of that onerous paperwork that comes with adulting? \nRebecca Harris continues hosting Study Hall\, a series of informal gatherings for company members to work on writing projects (or other tasks) you have in development. The idea is to support each other’s progress by providing consistent time\, space\, and community\, to use as you see fit. \nThe group will meet Friday mornings on Zoom from 9:00am-11:00am. In each of the sessions\, there will be 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. Then reconvene around 10:45am to report back or check out\, which is also optional. Please come and go as you wish and feel free to use the time and accountability in the way that best serves your artistic purposes.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text] \nAbout the Series\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Company CoLabs are a series at The Actors Center that offer a framework for collaborative explorations and community programming among company members.

Screenplays and Television scripts are blueprints for building visual stories. Do you often find yourself reading a film or tv scene and thinking “there’s not much here” or\, on set\, asking yourself “why are they shooting it that way?” Our ability to quickly and effectively analyze a scene prior to making specific acting choices ensures we are telling the same story as our collaborators. Damian will guide participants in how to more readily identify genre\, story\, tone\, environment\, and emotional stakes of a scene. He will share distinct scenes from a variety of filmed material. Sessions run Thursdays\, 7:00pm-9:00pm\, on Zoom.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text] \nAbout Damian Young\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text] \nDamian Young is an actor and teacher.

Over seven sessions\, Tonya will guide actors through the principles of the method\, emphasizing active listening and truthful\, spontaneous reactions. Offering tools to connect actors more authentically with their scene partners\, their characters\, and their own emotions\, this workshop will not only support greater honesty in performance\, but support actors in being more present and self-aware in their lives.

Screenplays and Television scripts are blueprints for building visual stories. Do you often find yourself reading a film or tv scene and thinking “there’s not much here” or\, on set\, asking yourself “why are they shooting it that way?” Our ability to quickly and effectively analyze a scene prior to making specific acting choices ensures we are telling the same story as our collaborators. Damian will guide participants in how to more readily identify genre\, story\, tone\, environment\, and emotional stakes of a scene. He will share distinct scenes from a variety of filmed material. Sessions run Thursdays\, 7:00pm-9:00pm\, on Zoom.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text] \nAbout Damian Young\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text] \nDamian Young is an actor and teacher.

Writing can often be isolating and working from home can be distracting. Our hope is to establish a designated space to work collectively each week\, making the writing process more communal\, offering accountability\, and creating an opportunity to hear work aloud. The first 90 minutes of the meeting will be devoted to independent work. You are welcome to use that time however you’d like. There will be three prompts offered at the beginning of each session to inspire if needed. \nThe second 90 minutes will be devoted to sharing\, and reading. Each week\, three people will have the opportunity to sign up for a 30 minute slot to use according to what is most helpful for their process. In most cases\, the writer will assign roles for their pages\, the pages will be read aloud\, and if desired\, the writer can ask for a round of feedback based upon their specific questions and needs. If you are not writing\, but would like to join for the second half of this gathering to participate or listen to the shared work\, you are more than welcome. Sessions run Wednesday mornings from 10am-1pm.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text] \nAbout the Series\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Company CoLabs are a series at The Actors Center that offer a framework for collaborative explorations and community programming among company members.
