Intensive Teasing Out the Story with RH Thompson
|
Sat. March 30, 2019 10am-1pm
Sat. April 6, 2019 10am-1pm Sat. April 13, 2019 10am-1pm About Using monologues and short scenes, the group will listen for the story that lies beneath the scene. We will work both 'on' and 'off book', and both 'on' and 'off' our feet. We will identify some of the tools that actors and directors can use to tease out a story. Our time may be brief but our ambitions will be high. Participants will be required to arrive with a monologue already stuffed securely in their memories. RH Thompson is one of the Canada's most accomplished film, television and stage actors. He has played lead roles in most of the country's major venues, and has directed in quite a few. He wrote and performed his own play "The Lost Boys" to critical acclaim. In television and film, he has portrayed dozens of major characters over his bountiful career. He is a member of the Order of Canada and recipient of a Governor General's Performing Arts Award. The Intensive will be held in the Studio. Cost is $75 + service fee. No refunds. To Register Registration opens on January 20, 2019, at 6am here. This three-day Intensive is limited to the first 15 actor and director Active Members who register.
