<div class="workshop-description"><p>A collaborative partnership between <b>The Highland Square
Neighborhood Association,</b> <b>The Center for Applied Theatre and Active
Culture</b> and the <b>Wandering Aesthetics</b>. This workshop series is designed
for performers of all experience levels; to enhance their onstage
presence, work through stage fright, brush up on invaluable performances
skills and practice in front of an audience before the festival. Each
session is designed as a one-off workshop geared toward developing tools
to nurture onstage success.</p><p>Schedule</p><p>August 23, 10 AM - 12 PM: Making Contact: Overcoming Stage Fright and Forming a Genuine Connection </p><p>
August 30, 10 AM - 12 PM: Do Not Be Dismissed: Presence and Energy in Performance </p><p>
September 6, 10 AM - 12 PM: Seen, but Not Heard: Voice for the Performer</p><p>
September 13, 10 AM - 12 PM: From Vamping to Banter: Improv for the Unexpected</p><p>Participants are encouraged, but not required, to attend all four
sessions. However, we believe performers will gain the most by
participating in every session. Participants will see their progress by
"checking in" with a piece they've prepared in advance.</p><div><br></div><div>Register at: <a href="http://www.highlandsquare.org/workshops.php">http://www.highlandsquare.org/workshops.php</a></div></div></body></html>
