In this class everyone will direct and everyone will write. Participants will also be paired to collaborate on some assignments. The class will not follow a conventional curriculum and will evolve throughout the process. The class will culminate with the presentation of short (6-12 minute) scenes that may potentially be included in CPT’s full production: <i>Air Waves: Part 3 of the Elements Cycle.<o:p></o:p></i></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify'><br>Director/Creator Raymond Bobgan’s work centers on collaborating with performers to create performance. Deep work with actors on the creation of physical, mental and emotional scores, montage of these scores with original text, layering of various elements, song creation, storytelling, and the moving of objects to transform space are all hallmarks of his unique approach to theatre. Raymond will also share techniques for engaging people in making and writing story. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify'><br>The class will meet on Saturdays from September 28, 2013 - December 14, 2013 (no class on Nov 30 for Thanksgiving holiday). The class will be held 10am to 1pm. Students may only miss one class and must make up work for that class. This is a working classroom environment and students will be expected to cast, create, and rehearse 4 scenes for in-class presentation. CPT space may be available to students for class work on a limited basis.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify'><br>We are seeking a class with diverse backgrounds and skill sets. Class is limited and enrollment will be based on an application process. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify'><br>The fee for the class is $750. CPT will accept up to ½ of this fee to be paid in “sweat-equity” volunteer <br>work. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify'><br>Raymond is now in his eighth year as CPT’s Executive Artistic Director.
