Announces

Training Workshops



(For Immediate Release…Akron, OH) First Grace United Church of Christ  
is hosting Heads Up Productions for training workshops every Wednesday  
in April! (Dates are: April 6, 13, 20 & 27.)  Workshops start at 6 pm  
and end at 8 pm.  Prices are $10 per workshop, due at the beginning of  
each session.  Payment can be made in the form of cash or check.   
Credit cards not accepted.  Attendance at all four workshops is highly  
recommended but not necessary.  Registration can be completed through  
Heads Up’s website: wwww.headsupproductions.net/workshops-and-classes

  Participants who register and pay for all 4 workshops at the first  
session will receive 2 free tickets to Heads Up’s performance of  
Corpus Christi by Terrence McNally that runs April 21-23 at First  
Grace United Church of Christ.  All participants who attend the April  
6 workshop will be invited to watch that evening’s Corpus Christi  
rehearsal from 8-11 to see Heads Up’s work methodology.

Workshops are appropriate for performers of all backgrounds (including  
actors and dancers) and directors ages 16 and above.  The training is  
rooted in physical theatre techniques and ensemble building.  These  
workshops will provide an introduction to and foundation in The Suzuki  
Method of Actor Training and the Viewpoints.

The Suzuki Method was developed by Japanese director Tadashi Suzuki  
and develops the actor's inner physical sensibilities, builds the  
will, stamina and concentration. By developing the body awareness of  
the corporal center, and a consistent level of energy, primary  
elements of the actor's awareness are heightened. The best and most  
consistent evidence of this work is apparent onstage reflected through  
an increasingly centered and controlled actor.

Master Director Anne Bogart adapted the Viewpoints from Choreographer  
Mary Overlie.  The Viewpoints are ways to examine the actors’ tools of  
Time and Space when creating a performance.  They quickly create a  
common vocabulary between ensembles.

The workshops will be lead by Artistic Director Benjamin Rexroad and  
Assistant Artistic Director TJ Jozsa.  Rexroad has trained with Anne  
Bogart and SITI Company during their 2010 Summer Intensive.

for the workshops.
