CRY HAVOC! Shakespeare healing PTSD
by tess＠ohioshakespeare.com 18 Oct '19

18 Oct '19

Ohio Shakespeare Festival is proud to offer two evenings of this powerful guest performance. CRY HAVOC! An imported production by international artist and veteran Stephan Wolfert, highlighting his true experience using Shakespeare's words to heal his PTSD--applicable to both veterans and citizens. More info and tickets ($15-$33): [ http://www.ohioshakespearefestival.com/cry-havoc ]( http://www.ohioshakespearefestival.com/cry-havoc )[ ]( http://www.ohioshakespearefestival.com/cry-havoc ) PRESS FOR CRY HAVOC! [ New York Times ]( https://www.decruit.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/NY-Times-Article.pdf ) [ Boston Globe ]( https://www.decruit.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/Cry-Havoc-Review-Boston-… ) We RE-cruit soldiers--but we never DE-cruit them. After two years of paralysis from a high school sports injury. After six years in the United States Army. After a full blown transition into a classic case of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Stephan Wolfert hopped off an Amtrak train deep in the mountains of Montana. Far from home. Close to the middle of nowhere. And without the first damn clue of what to do for the rest of his life.Until, as Fate would literally have it, he stepped into a local theater and saw a production of William Shakespeare’s Richard III.Twenty years later, using Shakespeare’s timeless words, and a few of his own, actor/veteran Stephan Wolfert in Cry Havoc leads us on an interactive journey to meet Shakepeare’s veterans.He also brings us face to face with one of the most vexing military – and civilian – problems of our time.Men and women are tested and trained before entering the military. While serving in the military, they continue to be tested and trained to ensure “combat readiness”. Or, as Wolfert suggests, to harness their “berserker energy”. Berserkers were Norse warriors of old who fought with a trance-like fury, and the value of that spirit of rage is as important to the military of today as it ever was.But there’s no “off switch”. After years of testing and training to maintain combat readiness, there is no testing and training to leave military service and rejoin the civilian world. No testing to ensure “NON-Combat readiness”. No training to eliminate our warrior’s “berserker energy”. Leaving the “berserker” to pose the unanswered question: “Now what?”Shakespeare had something to say about that. He wrote about the relationships between veterans, politicians and civilians. He wrote about how these relationships can either prevent or create havoc.Cry Havoc is a one-person play that unites veterans with civilians. It shows us that the military men and women of Shakespeare’s time wrestled with the same hopes and worries that occupy our modern lives. It explores the difficulties that our veterans and their families face.And maybe, just maybe, it will help them eliminate the berserker and truly come home.

Introduction to Intimacy for the Stage: Workshop w/ IDI certified director
by tess＠ohioshakespeare.com 18 Oct '19

18 Oct '19

Introduction to Intimacy for the Stage Hosted at Ohio Shakespeare Festival 103 S. High Street, Akron 44308 NOVEMBER 11, 7-10PM Ages 18+ Instructor Samantha Kaufman - An Intimacy Director’s International certified Intimacy Director $25 non-refundable deposit holds your spot in class. $75 due upon arrival. [ REGISTER NOW ]( https://www.showclix.com/event/intimacy-workshop ) CLASS DESCRIPTION In this workshop, participants learn specific techniques for accessing their vulnerability in a dramatic context, resulting in powerful chemistry between characters without compromising personal boundaries. Focus is on subtle and specific details in choreography, and on acting exercises to keep partners connected physically and emotionally. It is an exploration of intimacy within a dramatic context for the purpose of telling the story of the scene. This class also touches on how to approach preparing for scenes of intimacy in rehearsal, consent, boundaries, your rights, and psychological safety. This is not just kissing or sex scenes. The principles can include the intimacy between parents and children, between dear friends, and can also apply to scenes of sexual violence. Touching (handshakes, handholding, hugging) through guided contact improv is part of the course. Kissing is not required. While the goal is to explore emotional and physical intimacy, the core concept of this work is Safety, for the facilitation of safe exploration. All touching is consensual, and participants are always invited to sit out and watch, should they feel uncomfortable or triggered. While this introductory workshop is geared towards a performer's perspective, participants are welcome from all theatrical disciplines to participate and learn more about intimacy for the stage. GOALS To train the students in a working knowledge of the basic principles of Intimacy for the Stage. Focusing on The Pillars of Intimacy, students will learn how to advocate for their own safety when an Intimacy Director is not present, collaborate with an Intimacy Director when one is present, and explore specificity within moments of Intimacy. FORMAT Each class will follow the structure: introduction to concept, practice, discussion. TOPICS INCLUDED Instant Chemistry: simple acting exercises to facilitate mutual trust and to create chemistry with any scene partner Consent: physical work and emotional preparation for more effective scenes of intimacy The Pillars: guidelines for approaching scenes of Intimacy, including script work, communication of personal boundaries, consent, and other professional etiquette practices Playing with Specificity: techniques and ideas to begin exploring your own methods of maintaining your own psychological health, assuring your own resilience and the quality of your craft WHAT IS IDI? Intimacy Directors International (IDI) is a not for profit organization comprised of artists from around the world who are trained to choreograph and direct scenes of an intimate nature for the stage and screen. Founded by Tonia Sina, Siobhan Richardson, and Alicia Rodis, IDI's mandate is to provide compelling physical and emotional storytelling within intimate scenes - including hand-holding, nudity, kissing, and/or simulated sexual activities - while also maintaining the physical and psychological safety of all involved. As active advocates for performer safety, IDI sets and maintains a high standard for proper consent, sexual harassment awareness, overall safety, and dramaturgical expertise. IDI shares this knowledge through intimacy direction for productions and intimacy workshops for a broad range of participants and subject matter. http://www.teamidi.org/ INSTRUCTOR BACKGROUND Samantha Kaufman is an actor and movement director; specializing in fight direction, intimacy direction, and circus theatre.
