Registration for NEW theatre classes for teens and adults is taking place
now at Fine Arts Association, 38660 Mentor Avenue, Willoughby.

To register for classes or for more information, call Fine Arts at (440)
951-7500 or log on to www.fineartsassociation.org.

Well known director Sarah May and playwright Park Goist, former director of
the American Studies Program and a faculty member of the Theater Department
at CWRU join Fine Arts Association's faculty this session.

The new classes are:

Playwriting (ages 16-adult)  This course, for students of all experience
levels, will explore elements of plays and playwriting through a series of
specific writing exercises. Several plays will be read and discussed as a
way to further enhance the understanding of how a play works. The goal of
the course is for each student to complete either a well-crafted one act
play or part of a longer work. The first session of the class will meet at
Fine Arts Association in the Corning Auditorium. Subsequent sessions will be
held at an offsite location chosen by the members of the class. This class
is a great opportunity to prepare work for submission to Fine Arts
Association’s Spring 2004 Annual One Act Festival entitled, Ten Below, which
will feature ten-minute plays. Instructor Park Goist is a produced freelance
playwright and former Director of the American Studies Program and faculty
member in the Theatre department at Case Western Reserve University.

Essence of Acting I (ages 16-adult)  Through exercises in imagination,
ensemble, relationship building, movement and relaxation, students will work
on the basic skills of acting and reacting truthfully onstage. This course
is geared toward the beginning actor or the intermediate actor looking to
revisit and solidify skills.

Saturday  10:00 am-12:00 pm    9 wks  18 hrs   Kosovich Peck    $165

Scene Study (ages 16-adult)  In this in-depth course, intermediate to
advanced students will work on numerous scenes culminating in an evening of
short works at the session’s end. The course will specifically focus on
character building through creative thinking and text analysis.  Former
Artistic Director of Karamu Theatre Sarah May is a freelance director and
the 2001 winner of the Northern Ohio Live Award of Achievement in Theatre.

Voice for the Actor I (ages 16-adult)  Students will learn a series of vocal
techniques for the stage and expand creative versatility through a
combination of breathing and vocal exercises. Students will work to develop
skills in breath, resonance, projection, diction and relaxation. The course
will culminate with students using their new vocal skills on monologues and
scenes.  Students should be comfortable with physically interacting with
their classmates and the instructor.

Saturday       12:30-2:30 pm     9 wks     18 hrs     Polanco          $165

monologues, songs, cold readings, callbacks, taking directions, finding
material, making bold choices and audition-room etiquette.

Monday       5:30-6:30 pm       9 wks      9 hrs     Polanco     $85
