Registration is currently under way for Spring Session classes at The Fine
Arts Association, 38660 Mentor Avenue, Willoughby.  Classes begin January
26, 2004 and run through June 5, 2004.

Classes are offered for all ages and ability levels in the Visual Arts,
Dance, Theatre and Music.  Private lessons in most instruments and voice are
available.  Music and Art Therapists are also on staff.

91% of Fine Arts's instructors are degreed with 46% carrying advanced
degrees.  Most are artists/instructors.

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 following are some of the high school/adult theatre classes being
offered Spring Session:

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. 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.
Saturday       12:00-2:00 pm    9 wks    18 hrs     Goist      $165

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.
(Consistent attendance is required.)

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

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

or general theatrical auditions. Students will work on and discuss
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
