A dialect is not a believable one\, unless it is fully embodied. This process depends on the individual actor’s access to their instrument. Beth will guide participants in exploring melody\, rhythm\, pace\, oral posture\, phonemic changes\, source and path of the resonance\, and focus of articulation. “This may sound technical\,” says Beth\, “but inevitably\, aspects surface as pathways for the actor to weave the accent into the matrix of transformation. The modality that the actor chooses in their approach can change as one moves from one accent to another\, but there are landmarks that can help the actor embody any accent.” We’ll start by working with multicultural Parisian accents\, branching outward across the globe exploring a French accent of your choice. \n[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text css=””] \nAbout Beth McGuire\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””] \n\nBeth has worked as a vocal/dialect coach both on and off Broadway\, in regional theatre\, and in film and television for 40 years. She was a Professor in the Practice of Acting and served as the Director of Speech and Dialects at Yale School of Drama for 23 years. She is currently freelancing\, teaching and coaching film\, television and theatre\, and occasionally still gets on the boards. \nWith colleague Jane Guyer Fujita\, she teaches a series of teacher training workshops covering Phonology\, Text\, Dialects\, and production coaching. Her book\, African Accents: A Workbook for Actors (Routledge press\, November 2015)\, is the first practical comprehensive analysis of the genre. \nMost recent dialect coaching projects include Lady in the Lake with Natalie Portman\, Lupita N’yongo in The Wild Robot\, Ryan Coogler’s SINNERS with Michael B Jordan\, the Marvel action film\, Black Panther\, and Jordan Peel’s sociopolitical horror flick US. Selected work in theater includes: African Voices Now: 3 One Acts\, Almasi Collaborative Arts\, Harare\, Zimbabwe; He Brought Her Home in a Box by Adrienne Kennedy at Theatre for a New Audience and KISS by Guillermo Calderón at the Yale Repertory Theatre both directed Evan Yionoulis. \nBeth received her MFA in acting from Brandeis University and BA from Oberlin College and acted for 30 years mainly on stage in new plays and classical works. She is grateful to be a member of The Actors Center Company and the opportunity to engage with the craft of acting. \n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_column_text css=””] \nRegister Now\n[/vc_column_text]\n\n \n \n "*" indicates required fields \n \n Your Name*Your Email*\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n[vc_empty_space][vc_column_text css=””] \nParticipants\nEnrollment limited to 14 actors.

The first two weeks will delve into advanced tools for active listening and somatic sensitivity needed when approaching scenes involving close relationships. Over the subsequent three weeks\, a scene partner and scene will be chosen and explored using exercises to help build physical history\, affection\, and the bile that may occur as an aftermath. Whether you are new to Lucid Body or not\, this workshop will offer tools for embodying the conflicting layers present inside a character\, as well as between characters\, on a blood and bone level. \n[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text css=””] \nAbout Fay Simpson\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””] \nFay Simpson is the Founder of the Lucid Body\, a psycho-physical process of introspection\, exertion\, and mental challenge that empowers actors and dancers to express human complexity and passion with safety and skill. She is Head of Movement at NYU’s Graduate Acting Program\, and has been the Artistic Director and co-founder of Impact Theatre since its creation in 1990 (D-Train\, Degas’ Little Dancer\, Marital Bliss of Francis and Maxine\, Kurt’s Wife: A Story of Lotte Lenya\, Grey Gone\, and most recently\, SCOTTY).

Fay was awarded a Fox Foundation Fellowship to intern with Mark Rylance at the Globe Theater in London in 2000. \nRe-balancing the nervous system and energetic body of each actor and between actors after every rehearsal is a priority and the reason she became an intimacy coordinator. She has choreographed intimacy for numerous plays\, ballets\, and screen projects\, with credits that include A Midsummer Night’s Dream with the Classical Theater of Harlem directed by Carl Cofield\, Dracula with Ballet Met in Columbus\, Ohio\, Marys Seacole directed by Machel Ross at the Shubert Theatre\, A Song of Songs at El Puente\, and the film Gage County\, NE\, directed by Cecilia Rubino. \nShe also co-founded a Theatre for Social Change summer program in Tanzania for Yale Drama students\, as well as the Veterans Project in New York. She has a two year teacher training program with Lucid Body teachers now working around the world.

We’ll see where these two areas of pursuit can connect—and where they seem to need to stay separate.

Working collaboratively and on our feet\, we’ll investigate the play—exploring scenes and alternating roles (across age\, gender\, type)—guided by Will’s physically adventurous and ensemble-driven directing style. \nOver the course of the weekend\, we’ll experiment with how the text behaves in space\, in bodies\, and in relation to sound and movement. Will will lead investigations that explore moments of claustrophobia versus moments of openness; play with layering voices and redistributing text among multiple actors; and work with a slowed-down line dance as a possible ritual form—asking how poetry\, music\, and choreography affect the play’s emotional landscape and sense of time. \nThe emphasis throughout will be on exploration rather than outcome: allowing the play to reveal itself through shared inquiry\, physical experimentation\, and attentive ensemble work.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text css=””] \nAbout the Play\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””] \n\nMary\, always late and always married\, meets a lady cowboy named Red who teaches her how to ride a horse. Red exudes a taste of freedom that Mary didn’t even know she lacked\, and is suddenly desperate to find. Late\, a Cowboy Song\, is the story of one woman’s education and her search to find true love outside the box.

As member Bob Ari noted at our last full company meeting\, many of our current membership are over half a century old in an industry where youth is always at the fore. How do we\, as artists\, continue to create and thrive when the opportunities and auditions are dwindling? \nSimilar to an in-person meeting in 2019 that resulted in the Plays For Us initiative and our ongoing Community Space\, we are hosting a Zoom meeting to gauge interest\, voice our concerns\, pool resources\, discover our strengths\, explore advocacy\, and support each other as we navigate this process. \nThis CoLab is open to members of all ages as we all get older each day; and with differing perspectives\, we may find hope and fresh answers to our common human dilemma. As the saying goes\, “We don’t stop playing because we grow old. We grow old because we stop playing.” \n\n[/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.
