(Female, can play age 72-97) Hoke Coleburn - A dignified, good-natured, & soft-spoken black man. (Male, African-American, can play 60s-80s) Boolie Werthan – Daisy’s son (Male, can play 40s-60s) Synopsis: The place is the Deep South, the time 1948, just prior to the civil rights movement. Having recently demolished another car, Daisy Werthan, a rich, sharp-tongued Jewish widow of seventy-two, is informed by her son, Boolie, that henceforth she must rely on the services of a chauffeur. The person he hires for the job is a thoughtful, unemployed black man, Hoke, whom Miss Daisy immediately regards with disdain and who, in turn, is not impressed with his employer's patronizing tone and, he believes, her latent prejudice. But, in a series of absorbing scenes spanning twenty-five years, the two, despite their mutual differences, grow ever closer to, and more dependent on, each other, until, eventually, they become almost a couple. Winner of the 1988 Pulitzer Prize and the Outer Critics Circle Award for Best Off-Broadway Play. A warm-hearted, humorous and affecting study of the unlikely relationship between an aging, crotchety white Southern lady, and a proud, soft-spoken black man. A long-run Off-Broadway success and an Academy Award-winning film. "The play is sweet without being mawkish, ameliorative, without being sanctimonious." —NY Times. "…a perfectly poised and shaped miniature on the odd-couple theme." —NY Post. "Playwrights Horizons has a winner in this one…gives off a warm glow of humane affirmation." —Variety. "DRIVING MISS DAISY is a total delight." —NY Daily News. If you have any questions or cannot attend auditions, but would still like to set up a time to audition, please feel free to contact the director at cmb164(a)zips.uakron.edu for more information.

Striving to find our movements' true weight with phrase work that will challenge our mind and body to connect and flux. Modern Lifts & Weight Sharing (Rebecca Leuszler & Irene Honora) This class will focus on the foundation of lifts and weight sharing used in Modern Dance and Contact Improvisation. Through the teachings of balancing, negotiating, and shifting weight, participants will create lifts in various group settings and explore non-traditional negotiation patterns. Yoga (Elyse Morckel) Yoga builds strength, stamina, and flexibility. Class will incorporate Vinyasa (flowing movement sequences) with slow, sustained stretches, refinement of alignment in held poses, as well as breath awareness and mental focus. Improvisation (Megan Gargano) Improvisation is an exploration of choreographic concepts used to develop unique and innovative movement vocabularies in real-time. From this base, dancers will develop movement material into spontaneous, performable dances through improvisational structures and scores. http://www.themovementproject.org/winterworkshop/ -- *Elyse Morckel* The Movement Project Company Member 330.962.9547
