<DIV align=center>Students in the <STRONG>Character Workshop</STRONG> will
focus on the understanding of creating a character -- creating a physical
life, voices, understanding given circumstances in the world of the play and
understanding how your character is different from you. Students will discover
many ways a character can behave, think, feel, experience things and express
themselves differently than the actor. Students will have the opportunity to
apply these skills through scene work, which will be presented on the final
day of class. </DIV>
