Spolin Intermediate Intensive Workshop
Saturday, May 30 / 10 am - 4:30 pm
Join us for a six hour day filled with games to challenge the actor with a focus on character development, spontaneity, ensemble and individual work. The Spolin technique created by improvisational pioneer, Viola Spolin, focuses on teaching acting through the use of theatre games. The games instruct the new and experienced actor in versatility of character through the use of vocal and physicalization choices, listening skills, taking direction, spontaneity, and understanding the importance of the ensemble. Prerequisite: Intro to Spolin with Master teacher, Jeanmarie Collins, or previous Spolin training. [full details here]
