by doctor celery 21 Mar '20

21 Mar '20

Use this time of social distancing and self quarantine to work on your monologue chops! Prof Jaffe of Lake Erie College is offering one-on-one sessions via Skype. We will work on any style monologue, contemporary or classic, comedy or drama. Jerry has directed or acted in over 100 plays in the USA, Japan and New Zealand, and has taught acting in 3 countries for over 25 years. My approach is very personal and very detailed. I do a combination of script work focusing on given circumstances and objectives and physical work based on the Viewpoints. I use improv to develop listening and spontaneity. We will develop a plan based on your needs and goals. All ages, high school on up. You can email Jerry directly at: jjaffe(a)lec.edu Cost: $30 for a 40 minute session (schedule 4 for $100). Any other questions? Email me! "She went down to the pet shop and came back with two alligators. We asked her why she'd got two alligators, and she said they were on sale. Buy one at the regular price and you got another one for a penny. An alligator one cent sale. In its own way it made sense." Richard Brautigan, A CONFEDERATE GENERAL FROM BIG SUR

using the list to help each other
by Ellen Pill 20 Mar '20

20 Mar '20

In response to Fred's lovely note, I wonder if we could open up the newsletter to sharing kindnesses folks are doing and seeing in the midst of all the crazy? Perhaps listing things people are doing to help others and how we can join their efforts? We could also invite anyone in need to let everyone know and maybe someone can help? Be well everyone.

Dear Fred, You are so thoughtful to send this heartfelt message at a time like this, an historical juncture few of us could ever have foreseen. Sending you my gratitude for masterminding this nice list of auditions and artistic job ops for so many years that serve so many creative souls and their Cleveland audiences. Maybe you can enjoy some well-deserved time off. Stay safe, which unfortunately, means staying 6 feet away from all other humans!
