[NEohioPAL] Dialects and Dance Partnering & Stage Combat workshops this January with HBTI

[Bob Russell]

The Hathaway Brown Theatre Institute (HBTI) will be offering two single
half-day workshops for Dialects and one half-day workshop for Dance
Partnering & Stage Combat this January!!!

Dialects:  Since plays are written by writers from all over the world, and
plays are set in cities all over the world, these workshops will help the
actor learn some of the most frequently used dialects and have fun at the
same time! Even within our own borders we can hear a huge variation of
speech. Each of these two dialect workshops will focus on a regional
American accent, specifically a "Southern" and a "New York" dialect. As
there are many plays and musicals from those regions, a single workshop
will focus on each of the dialects. The student's work with dialects will
culminate by it being put into the context of a scene.  These workshops
will only be available for Grades 5-12.  The "Southern" Dialect workshop
will be on January 2, 2014 from 1:00 PM - 4:30 PM and the "New York"
Dialect workshop will be on January 3, 2014 from 9:00 AM - 12:30 PM.

Dance Partnering & Stage Combat:  Students in this workshop will learn the
unique blending of two "glamour" disciplines. These techniques help
students to develop relationship and cooperative skills. Students will
learn about leading, following, weight sharing, weight transfer, falling
and the body mechanics of lifts, catches and balances, along with the
fundamentals of hand to hand combat (slaps, punches, pushes, hair pulls,
etc.) Students will also learn safety aspect such as proper spotting and
control of the action.  This workshop will only be available for Grades
8-12 on January 2, 2014 from 9:00 AM - 12:30 PM.  (Instructors:  Bebe
