<ul>
<li>Hosts TJ Josza Benjamin Rexroad interview playwright/actor Terrence Cranendonk</li>
<li>Terry did work sessions with Grotowski in 1984</li>
<li>He was not one of the Chosen Ones, so he chose himself: <em>persistence</em></li>
<li>Studying theater at Yale</li>
<li>And just missing studying under some of the bigger names of theatrical history</li>
<li>After leaving the Grotowski session, Terry put the work away for a while</li>
<li>Studying privately under Ryszard Cieslak (after fabricating a space and nine other students): <em>more persistence</em></li>
<li>The elements of Terrence’s training/work with fourteen others<br>
- Plastiques<br>
- Scene study (parts they always wanted to play)<br>
- Vocal work<br>
- Stanislavsky (physical action)</li>
<li>Terry’s one-man show “I Dreamed of Rats”: <em>Inspector General</em> as a solo piece in 45 minutes with lots of props</li>
<li>Some lone rehearsals included silent improvisations</li>
<li>In creating the show, he circled everything that made him laugh aloud</li>
<li>The first public performance was fourteen years ago</li>
<li>He is continually revising it today</li>
<li>In his precision, Terry even scores his <em>thoughts</em></li>
<li>Never hold onto an association: hold onto what you’re doing</li>
<li>Sloviak’s Four Corners: outside, in freezing rain, on slippery platforms</li>
<li>He worked with New World Performance Lab for seven years</li>
<li>Performing in living rooms everywhere (The “Where We Live” Series)</li>
<li>Performance Plug! Saturday August 20th, 8:00 1057 Gent Road, Akron, OH</li>
<li>(330)664-0623 (space is limited: call for reservations)</li>
<li>And please donate to his cause: e-mail him at <a title="E-mail Terry" href="mailto:terry@dogoodog.com" target="_blank">terry@dogoodog.com</a></li>
