Principles begin rehearsals July 25.

These roles are essential for the performance and are mostly moving/singing
parts with some speaking lines. Second Wave begins rehearsals on/around

*About The Workshop… *

This workshop will serve as an introduction (or reintroduction for past
collaborators) to Raymond’s unique approach to physical, experimental
theatre. This workshop will serve as a selection session/audition for
*Candlelight
Hypothesis*.

This will be a 4-hour workshop on July 10, from 2pm-6pm and will consist of
ensemble work, text, singing, and movement. Movement is
significant—comparable to a dance class.
