director, Treva Offutt <BR>on Saturday, January 9, 9:30-11:30 AM <BR>at the
Cleveland Heights Library on Lee Road</FONT></DIV>

<BR><BR></FONT><FONT size=3><STRONG>The colors, sights, sounds, and language of
Haiti have a rich tradition that must be embraced before beginning the <EM>Once
On This Island</EM> journey. To truly “get into” a piece, you must
understand its background and dive into the details. This workshop will be an
overview of the culture, movement, and music that informs the production.
The gods and their personalities come from a fascinating source: Who are Papa Ge
and Erzulie? Why are they important and how are they related? What is the
history of the Beauxhomme and the peasants? How do they relate to Haiti’s
longstanding struggles? Rhythm is most important to this musical. In addition to
our discussion, we will be moving, and singing so that potential auditioners can
get a feel for what to expect, and how to approach the styles of the show. Come
check out this workshop, and feel the heat in January!</STRONG></FONT><FONT
