Whether you haven’t acted in a while, or love it so much you can’t get enough, this one-day workshop is for you! This workshop is a no-pressure opportunity to step on stage to work with and learn from fellow actors as well as professional directors working in the Tucson performing arts community. You will flex your acting skills and hone your performance chops with exercises and activities that incorporate many styles of theatrical methodologies and work, including improv, scripted dialogue, character-building, and scene analysis. In the afternoon, participants will work in groups to stage short plays or scenes. The workshop will culminate in a showcase presentation of all the participants’ talent & hard work to a limited audience (friends and family only). New and experienced actors are all welcome!

Skills students will develop during this course:

• Ensemble building and nurturing

• Movement and gesture

• Performance skills, including vocal skills and physical presence

• Improvisation

• Collaborative storytelling

• Character-building

• Scene analysis

• Observation and listening
