Anyone ever started\, not completed\, and/or had the books gathering dust on your shelf\, in the closet\, or under a bed side-eying you? Well I have and I’d like to complete it this time. \nHere’s a chance for community support towards completion and inspiration. Let’s go diving for pearls. The key task in the book is the dreaded Morning Pages with a few artist dates alone in the week\, and occasional time for introspection. \nI’m starting a group\, with the solid goal of completing the 13 week cycle. Here’s how it will work: \n\n\nWe meet once a week on Zoom for 60-75 minutes.\nWe read the short chapter aloud until the ‘Tasks and Check In’ section\, followed by a brief discussion.\nWe also pair or throuple up. These smaller groups will encourage each other throughout the week\, however each decides best for that group.\nI could potentially record the discussion portion and make it accessible for anyone who can’t join that week\, with the set intention of showing up for each other and ourselves.\nThe day and time is negotiable. Weekend mornings seem optimal currently.\n\nIf you’re interested\, please kindly RSVP by Friday\, January 26th. ​Let’s leap so the net will appear – yet again.

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 two hours 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 third hour will be devoted to sharing and reading. Each week\, two 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 reading portion 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.

Anyone ever started\, not completed\, and/or had the books gathering dust on your shelf\, in the closet\, or under a bed side-eying you? Well I have and I’d like to complete it this time. \nHere’s a chance for community support towards completion and inspiration. Let’s go diving for pearls. The key task in the book is the dreaded Morning Pages with a few artist dates alone in the week\, and occasional time for introspection. \nI’m starting a group\, with the solid goal of completing the 13 week cycle. Here’s how it will work: \n\n\nWe meet once a week on Zoom for 60-75 minutes.\nWe read the short chapter aloud until the ‘Tasks and Check In’ section\, followed by a brief discussion.\nWe also pair or throuple up. These smaller groups will encourage each other throughout the week\, however each decides best for that group.\nI could potentially record the discussion portion and make it accessible for anyone who can’t join that week\, with the set intention of showing up for each other and ourselves.\nThe day and time is negotiable. Weekend mornings seem optimal currently.\n\nIf you’re interested\, please kindly RSVP by Friday\, January 26th. ​Let’s leap so the net will appear – yet again.

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 two hours 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 third hour will be devoted to sharing and reading. Each week\, two 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.

Anyone ever started\, not completed\, and/or had the books gathering dust on your shelf\, in the closet\, or under a bed side-eying you? Well I have and I’d like to complete it this time. \nHere’s a chance for community support towards completion and inspiration. Let’s go diving for pearls. The key task in the book is the dreaded Morning Pages with a few artist dates alone in the week\, and occasional time for introspection. \nI’m starting a group\, with the solid goal of completing the 13 week cycle. Here’s how it will work: \n\n\nWe meet once a week on Zoom for 60-75 minutes.\nWe read the short chapter aloud until the ‘Tasks and Check In’ section\, followed by a brief discussion.\nWe also pair or throuple up. These smaller groups will encourage each other throughout the week\, however each decides best for that group.\nI could potentially record the discussion portion and make it accessible for anyone who can’t join that week\, with the set intention of showing up for each other and ourselves.\nThe day and time is negotiable. Weekend mornings seem optimal currently.\n\nIf you’re interested\, please kindly RSVP by Friday\, January 26th. ​Let’s leap so the net will appear – yet again.

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 two hours 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 third hour will be devoted to sharing and reading. Each week\, two 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 reading portion of this gathering to participate or listen to the shared work\, you are more than welcome.

We held a series of Town Hall meetings to reimagine the future of our organization and I challenged us to think more broadly about the scope\, inclusivity\, and reach of our programming. \nFollowing a strategic review\, and conversations with more than 140 company members\, board members\, teachers\, donors\, foundation leaders\, and industry contacts\, I proposed a series of new initiatives that could reposition our organization to be of greater service to our entire field\, accessible to more artists\, and operate more sustainably. \nI’d like to invite you to a Company Meeting on Zoom on Tuesday\, March 5\, 2024 at 5:00pm to discuss launching one such initiative: a new Mentorship and Emerging Artist Program. \nThis unique 8-month program will assist a cohort of young artists in bridging the gap between their training and the profession\, while paying forward the accumulated wisdom and opportunities that our Resident Company members have benefited from. Building upon the intergenerational dynamic of our existing company\, this program takes what The Actors Center does exceptionally well and extends it to a new demographic. \nThere are many effective places for young actors to train and take classes\, but this program seeks to augment that with mentorship and guidance toward one’s overall growth as an artist. We can support these individuals in finding their artistic voice and holding on to what they uniquely have to offer our profession\, amid all of the practical questions of entering the business. \nI’ll share more details about the proposed pilot program at the company meeting\, as well as in a follow up email for those who cannot attend. \nI’d be grateful for your feedback\, engagement\, and support as we explore this vital next step as an organization. \nAfter 8 years of turning inward to stabilize our organization through two leadership transitions and a pandemic\, now is the moment to begin shaping the next generation of our work. I’m excited to discuss it with you. \nYours in the work\,\nAlex[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_column_text] \nAttending\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_class=”participant_list”]\n\n Entries\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Adinah Alexander \n \n Adriana Gaviria \n \n Alex Birnie \n \n Amelia Campbell \n \n Amy Van Nostrand \n \n Angel Desai \n \n Anney Giobbe \n \n Becca Lish \n \n Beth McGuire \n \n Bob Ari \n \n Carole Monferdini \n \n Celeste Arias \n \n Chris McLinden \n \n Christian Coulson \n \n Cindy Cheung \n \n Clark Jackson \n \n David Dean Bottrell \n \n Dominic Comperatore \n \n Elizabeth Shepherd \n \n Emily Kratter \n \n Emma Ramos \n \n Eva Kaminsky \n \n Heidi Armbruster \n \n Jill Larson \n \n Jodie Lynne McClintock \n \n John Rothman \n \n June Ballinger \n \n Kate Abbruzzese \n \n Kathleen Turco-Lyon \n \n Kathy McCafferty \n \n Ken Barnett \n \n Kevin Kilner \n \n Kevin Kilner \n \n Kristin Villanueva \n \n Leland Fowler \n \n Lindsay Brill \n \n Lisa Arrindell \n \n Lucy Martin \n \n Madeline Wise \n \n Maria-Christina Oliveras \n \n Mary Bacon \n \n Mel House \n \n Melanie Rey \n \n Michael Mastro \n \n Monica Wyche \n \n Monica Wyche \n \n Nancy McDoniel \n \n Nathan Darrow \n \n Pamela Dunlap \n \n Patrice Johnson \n \n Patrick Mulryan \n \n Polly Adams \n \n Pun Bandhu \n \n Purva Bedi \n \n Ron Van Lieu \n \n Ronald Peet \n \n Sarah Manton \n \n Timothy Thomas \n \n Tina Chilip \n \n Trish Lindstrom \n \n Vicki Shaghoian \n \n Walker Jones \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_column_text] \nComments/Queries\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][/vc_column][/vc_row] URL:https://theactorscenter.org/event/company-meeting-mentorship-program-3-5/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20240305T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20240305T123000 DTSTAMP:20240202T144116Z CREATED:20201130T195206Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240202T144116Z UID:10002331-1709636400-1709641800@theactorscenter.org SUMMARY:Weekly Community Space DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text el_class=”event_roundtable”] \nCompany CoLabs\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text] \nCommunity Space\nTuesday Mornings\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_column_text] \nDates & Times\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Every Tuesday – 11:00am-12:30pm ET\n \nLaunch Zoom Link\nMeeting ID: 837 0411 7798\nPasscode: 374737 \nHosted by Jodie Lynne McClintock[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text] \nAbout the CoLab\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Started three years ago at the height of the Covid-19 lockdown as a way to connect\, it has continued weekly as a family of actors navigating the changing landscape of our times.

Well I have and I’d like to complete it this time. \nHere’s a chance for community support towards completion and inspiration. Let’s go diving for pearls. The key task in the book is the dreaded Morning Pages with a few artist dates alone in the week\, and occasional time for introspection. \nI’m starting a group\, with the solid goal of completing the 13 week cycle. Here’s how it will work: \n\n\nWe meet once a week on Zoom for 60-75 minutes.\nWe read the short chapter aloud until the ‘Tasks and Check In’ section\, followed by a brief discussion.\nWe also pair or throuple up. These smaller groups will encourage each other throughout the week\, however each decides best for that group.\nI could potentially record the discussion portion and make it accessible for anyone who can’t join that week\, with the set intention of showing up for each other and ourselves.\nThe day and time is negotiable. Weekend mornings seem optimal currently.\n\nIf you’re interested\, please kindly RSVP by Friday\, January 26th. ​Let’s leap so the net will appear – yet again.

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 two hours 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 third hour will be devoted to sharing and reading. Each week\, two 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 reading portion of this gathering to participate or listen to the shared work\, you are more than welcome. Sessions run Wednesday mornings from 10am-1pm from January 24th- February 28th.[/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.

We all carry various patterns of tension and habits that prevent us from being fully in the moment and allowing for access to our full expressive potential. In this workshop\, participants will begin a conversation with their instrument\, finding where they can encourage release so as to deepen the breath and allow fuller access to both their emotional life and clear\, energized thinking. This in turn will result in a deeper connection to one’s own experience\, one’s scene partner\, and the audience. When we truly free our breath\, we find our way back to the present moment\, able to bring our full humanity to the circumstances\, with spontaneity and clear point of view. Participants will learn a progression of exercises that are repeatable and that can serve them for audition prep\, in rehearsal\, and in performance.

Actors understand that no character is alike in form or quality. Character transformation often occurs through the actor’s attention to their body\, movement\, and voice. In this workshop\, actors will learn to develop character through their breath. Jessica Wolf’s Breathing Costume is a technique with which actors try on different breathing patterns to shape and transform into character from the inside out. This process empowers actors to personalize and individualize their roles in a way that is subtle and organic\, leading to a more nuanced performance. Actors are invited to bring in roles they would like to explore with this workshop.

Anyone ever started\, not completed\, and/or had the books gathering dust on your shelf\, in the closet\, or under a bed side-eying you? Well I have and I’d like to complete it this time. \nHere’s a chance for community support towards completion and inspiration. Let’s go diving for pearls. The key task in the book is the dreaded Morning Pages with a few artist dates alone in the week\, and occasional time for introspection. \nI’m starting a group\, with the solid goal of completing the 13 week cycle. Here’s how it will work: \n\n\nWe meet once a week on Zoom for 60-75 minutes.\nWe read the short chapter aloud until the ‘Tasks and Check In’ section\, followed by a brief discussion.\nWe also pair or throuple up. These smaller groups will encourage each other throughout the week\, however each decides best for that group.\nI could potentially record the discussion portion and make it accessible for anyone who can’t join that week\, with the set intention of showing up for each other and ourselves.\nThe day and time is negotiable. Weekend mornings seem optimal currently.\n\nIf you’re interested\, please kindly RSVP by Friday\, January 26th. ​Let’s leap so the net will appear – yet again. Hoping for a nice group.[/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.
