Your smile is your calling card. I practice in a holistic way where practical. There are no silver-amalgam fillings placed in this practice and there haven't been since I started in 1984. Metal-free dentistry is available and old silver-amalgams are always removed with a rubber dam in place so you won't swallow any mercury. Cleanings are by the dentist!

Review of "Feefer Rising" at Cleveland Public Theatre
by Bob Abelman via NEohioPAL 14 Dec '15

14 Dec '15

CPT’s ‘Feefer Rising’ is a fierce piece of storytelling Bob Abelman Cleveland Jewish News, The News Herald, The Morning Journal Member, International Association of Theatre Critics The end of the year is a melancholic time of reflection, when many of us look back at our hours upon the earth, evaluate our journey’s trajectory, and make adjustments accordingly. It is little wonder that, in December, our stages are filled with fictional characters doing the same, whether it’s Scrooge’s eleventh-hour revelation to “live in the Past, the Present, and the Future” in Great Lakes Theater’s “A Christmas Carol” or Peter Pan’s realization that “life is an awfully big adventure” in Dobama’s “Peter and the Starcatcher.” So it is not surprising that the story in Faye Hargate’s “Feefer Rising,” currently on stage at Cleveland Public Theatre, has a similar trope of self-reflection: a young girl’s discovery of identity and sexuality on her arduous journey toward womanhood. What is surprising about this World Premiere production of Hargate’s semi-autobiographical one-woman play, which is co-created and directed by Raymond Bobgan, is the storytelling. For it is daring, disorienting, and so very far from melancholic. For more of this review, go to www.clevelandjewishnews.com/columnists/.

There will also be two adult sessions – Act I: An Intro to Acting for Adults and FUNdamentals of Storytelling – led by Kyle Jozsa and Benjamin Rexroad. Wandering Aesthetics uses a play-based approach to teach, guiding students to learn through imagination and experimentation. Here are what parents and students are saying about working with Jozsa: “Amelia LOVES it! She said, this morning on the way to camp, ‘every character has something special about them, that's what Mr. Kyle and Mr. Benjamin said.’” – Shane Wynn “Kyle is amazing with the kids.” – Tracey Thomas Shepard “Gio is LOVING camp! Thanks Kyle & crew!” – Elisa Gargarella Private lessons are also available to help students of ALL AGES prepare for auditions, roles or simply to delve deeper into the craft of acting.

Market St. • Akron, OH 44303 Drop-in: $15/Individual Class Tuition: $165 Theatre is play. Children constantly use their imaginations to create something out of nothing. Their lives are ones of theatricality and experimentation, discovering their world and themselves through play. Let’s Play! uses theatrical concepts (such as: movement, voice, imagination, costumes, props) to facilitate physical, social & emotional development in your young performer. Designed for children ages 2.5 - 5, the class incorporates songs, stories and activities that use imaginative play as a foundation for learning. This is NOT a performance-based class. Thursdays @ 4:15 PM - 5:00 PM (1/7 - 3/24) interACT: An Ensemble Building Class Ages: 5 - 12 Years Classes held at Pure Intentions School of Energy • 156 W. North St. • Akron, OH 44303 Tuition: $175 Theatre is collaboration. By working together students learn to celebrate diversity as they discover the power of positive relationships and engagement of their collective imaginations. In this class, students will learn the basics of teamwork and how that relates to the art of theatre. Through weekly ensemble exercises, the group will learn and grow together. *There will be a final presentation on Wednesday, March 23rd* Wednesdays @ 4:00 PM - 5:00 PM (1/6 - 3/23) Once Upon A Time Ages: 5 - 9 Years Classes held at Akron Center For Art Music & Performance (ACAMP) • 118 W. Market St. • Akron, OH 44303 Tuition: $175 The best way to learn is to do. Working with a scripted version of a childhood classic, (written by Kyle Jozsa and Benjamin Rexroad), students will learn theatrical basics as they bring life to the story on stage. Using scripts, costumes and props, the students will become familiar with concepts such as stage direction, character development and the actor-director relationship. *There will be a final presentation on Saturday, March 26th* Saturdays @ 9:30 AM - 10:30 AM (1/9 - 3/26) Tell Your Tale Ages: 9 - 13 Years Classes held at Akron Center For Art Music & Performance (ACAMP) • 118 W. Market St. • Akron, OH 44303 Tuition: $175 Theatre is storytelling. Stories are universal, they connect us. We tell stories to understand each other and to better understand the world in which we live. In this class, students will dive deep into their own personal narrative to develop a short solo performance. Working closely with "Master Storyteller" Kyle Jozsa, students will learn how to tell a good story by using their own life experiences. *There will be a final presentation on Saturday, March 26th* Saturdays @ 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM (1/9 - 3/26) About the Instructor: Kyle Jozsa is the Co-Artistic Director and Director of Education with Wandering Aesthetics.
