WORKSHOP #3 – The Director’s Vision presented by Christa Vogt, MA, Virginia Beach City Public Schools. (Limit 15 participants).
Do you ever wonder exactly how two productions of the same play can look and feel quite different? This workshop will explore how directors come up with their concept for a production. You will have the opportunity to apply the process using a short script to articulate your vision.
March 21, 2020 (10 AM – 1 PM)

WORKSHOP #4 – Where Are You From? presented by Louise A. Casini Hollis, MFA, VCU.
From the streets of New York to the shining California coast, America has many regions, all of which have cultivated their own sound. Each dialect carries a world of information about the characters we encounter in the stories we portray. This workshop focuses on what gives a dialect it’s unique sound, and how dialects differ from region to region. Use of the International Phonetic Alphabet will be taught as well as basic sound changes to use for some of the American dialects actors are called upon to use most frequently.
