FREE Text Analysis Workshop for Theatre Makers from Seat of the Pants
by Craig Joseph 04 Aug '24

04 Aug '24

Join us for TOOLS OF THE TEXT: Embracing Process Through Text Analysis, which will be offered Saturday, August 17th from 10AM-1PM at Weathervane Playhouse, 1301 Weathervane Lane, Akron, OH 44313! We've offered a number of physical acting process workshops so far and now we'd like to offer insight on how we approach the texts we choose and how that lays the groundwork for our psycho-physical explorations in rehearsal. Actors, directors, designers, and producers all participate in this work; for this reason, *we welcome not just actors and performers, but directors, producers, and designers *to the workshop. Some ideas we'll be covering in detail: - *Beauty Statement *- our governing document that helps unify the tone and mission of every production for director, cast, and designers - *Chekhov's Laws of Composition* - these help organize, balance, and structure the work and exploration of a play - *A Rhythmic Wave* - how to harness the intrinsic rhythm of the play to effectively let the composition work for you and steward the audience's experience of the play - *Action Analysis* - through this work, scenes are grounded in action and characters are given a roadmap for how to fully flesh out their arcs while remaining faithful to the unified mission of the play If you've ever looked at a script or a side and felt stumped - join us! If you've ever been in a rehearsal or a production meeting and immediately felt every inspiration totally disappear OR if you've been overwhelmed by all of the options and possibilities - join us! If you just like theatre and want to appreciate more of the work that goes into a theatrical text - join us! In order to get everyone on the same page for discussion, we're going to utilize *The Women of Lockerbie* by Deborah Brevoort to dive into this work. Upon securing your spot, we will send you a digital copy of the play as well as some other details about the class. We ask that you please read the script before attending the workshop (don't worry, it's a short script). We will also be asking for a $5 deposit to hold your slot *which will be refunded *to you on the day of the workshop upon your attendance. It is a passion of ours to host free and accessible workshops for the NE Ohio community; in order to do that to the best of our capacities, it's imperative that we make use of as many slots as we're able to and deter last minute cancellations. We're super excited to share this part of our process and work. We hope you'll be able to join us. Please e-mail *mike.glavan(a)gmail.com <mike.glavan(a)gmail.com>* to reserve your spot and await more details in a follow-up e-mail.

Workshop Players Seek Directors for 2025-2026 Season
by Workshop Players 03 Aug '24

03 Aug '24

August 2024 Many thanks to those who have already submitted applications to direct during the Workshop Players’ 2025-2026 season. Just imagine! It shall be our 77th season in our unique, intimate theater! *The deadline for applying is September 1, 2024. * * Our faithful audiences love to be entertained. Comedies are a favorite with them, but certainly dramas, musicals and children’s shows are also welcome as submissions. We strive to put together a balanced season based on choices sent to us by directors. We do it this way because **we feel that it is important that directors have a vision for and passion about productions that they tackle.** If in case you need a gentle nudge, I can provide a list of previously read and admired scripts. Contact me using the email below. YOU NEED NOT CHOOSE FROM THIS LIST, but perhaps it will spark ideas for you. ** Do your best to submit in a variety of genres,. * For instance, due to the cost of production, Workshop Players would do no more than one musical in a season. Therefore if submitting musicals also include some straight plays to increase your chance of being chosen to direct. Be aware that our backstage space is very limited, making massive scene changes difficult. *Please submit to Play Reading Committee Chair Pat Price at* *pprice203(a)gmail.com* <pprice203(a)gmail.com> **if you have not directed with us before, please include a theatrical resume * **Submit 4-5 plays that you would be interested in directing at Workshop, along with synopsis of the play (*may be copied and pasted from licensing agent)*. * *** **Give a brief summary of why you believe the play would be effective in our unique theater-in-the-round space. * **Please be prepared to have at least one copy of each script available for the play reading committee should you be selected as one of the directors. * Workshop Players Theater is a non profit, *fully volunteer* theater. Submitting directors *may *be interviewed by the Board of Trustees in September. Thank you for your interest in Workshop Players Theater. We think it’s a pretty special place and would love to have you as part of our Workshop family.
