SPECIAL JANUARY INTENSIVE

OUT OF THE BOX - PLAYING IN THE REALM OF FAIRY TALE

January 2-4, 2014

Thursday, January 2 2-6 PM
Friday January 3 10-4 PM
Saturday, January 4 10-4 PM


Fairy Tales, our most profound form of storytelling, take us beyond the narrow frame of realism, offering us a much larger imaginative canvas for theatre making, which includes Shakespeare, opera, musicals, and many dramatic plays. But playing in the realm of the fantastic presents challenges to truthful acting.

This special intensive for actors, directors, and theatre teachers will focus on exercising our imaginations, and using the tools of the Chekhov Technique to play effectively in a heightened reality. Get creative - we will be adapting, creating and transforming, moving from the ordinary to the extraordinary.

Taught by Dawn Arnold who has directed The Moving Dock Theatre Company's adaptations and original plays in heightened realities. Moving Dock Company Members will be on hand to share their experience with playing in the realm of the extraordinary.
