Seeking Proposals from Teaching Artists
by Brad Wyner 18 Jan '18

18 Jan '18

Seeking Proposals from Teaching Artists Rose-Mary provides support to people with intellectual & developmental disabilities. We are currently growing our adult day services with the support of The Cleveland Foundation, and are seeking proposals from teaching artists to consult with us and develop enhanced content over the next several months. The clients of our adult day program are young adults who have significant intellectual and developmental disabilities (such as autism), some with co-occurring mental health issues. The program is a place where people can come and enjoy a meaningful day, and be appreciated for who they are, no matter how significant their challenges. We currently have teaching artists in dance, music, and Tai Chi, and are looking to expand with even more content. Consultation sessions can be one hour a week, or a few hours a day, several times a week. We are looking for artists who can: * See the potential of people who have significant disabilities * Think "outside of the box" to come up with programming that will enhance quality of life for people with disabilities * Develop sustainable programming that our program support staff can lead on an on-going basis in the future * Train our staff to continue leading programs and activities once the consultation has concluded. Potential areas for consulting artists: * Visual art * Music * Dance * Drama games * Adaptive sports & recreation * Other areas? Imagine how you could bring your artistic experience into the world of people with significant disabilities - think about painting without having to grip a brush, creating music in a way that doesn't require experience or skill, dance based on how different bodies react to music, exploring feelings without words, using tablets to create short movies, etc. How to apply: Write a short summary of the programming that you could provide; remember the ultimate goal is for you to teach our existing staff how to eventually lead the activity themselves. Include information about any experience you have working with people with disabilities. Attach a resume and work sample/portfolio/demo video of you leading a session if available. Email your idea to Brad Wyner at bwyner(a)rose-marycenter.com<mailto:bwyner@rose-marycenter.com> (Brad is Rose-Mary's Behavior Support Specialist, has also worked as a teaching artist, and will help potential consultants develop and adapt their proposals). If we are interested in your proposal, we will contact you to meet and flush out potential details. Because we work with a unique population, we may schedule artists for just a few sessions at first, and extend further if the project is going well. Competitive compensation as an independent contractor/consultant.

Rehearsals: Regular Rehearsals will start early/mid February Rehearsals will be held based on actor availability. 4-5 days a week expected. Monday-Thursday, most Saturdays. No conflicts will be accepted for any performance dates. Show Information: A Chorus Line examines one day in the lives of seventeen dancers, all vying for a spot in the “chorus line” of a Broadway musical. After the first round of cuts, Zach, the director and choreographer, asks each dancer to speak about themselves. Discomfort opens into revelation, confession leads to redemption, and within the bright, outwardly homogenous chorus, the audience begins to see each dancer’s individuality. From Cassie, the star who just needs the “music and the mirror and the chance to dance,” to Val, a small-town girl with a brand-new big-town body, to Mike, who took his sister’s place in dance class, saying “I can do that.” Based on real Broadway dancers’ stories, as told to fellow dancer and choreographer Michael Bennett, A Chorus Line is funny, heartbreaking, and refreshingly honest. Casting Requirements Looking for a Large Diverse cast, All Races, Genders, and Ethnicities will be considered for all parts.

Polish your Shakespeare Monologue--private coaching
by Tess Burgler 18 Jan '18

18 Jan '18

> I’m looking to take on acting students who are interested in learning or polishing their Shakespearean verse and rhetoric skills. I am happy to assist you with specific audition monologues, help you choose audition monologues from the Shakespeare cannon, or simply work with you to make the language and verse practices more accessible. Using tools from John Barton’s verse studies, I can show you how Shakespeare’s verse and language work for—never against—the actor. > > I have been performing in and working with professional Shakespeare companies for 25 years and currently am a full time company member and Managing Director for the Ohio Shakespeare Festival in Akron, Ohio. I have a passion for Shakespearean language as studied by the actor (not the scholar), and my teaching style is direct and actionable. Please learn a little more about me here: http://www.ohioshakespearefestival.com/resident-staff/ > > $25/hour if you can meet me in downtown Akron at the Ohio Shakespeare Festival theatre. $35/hour if you need me to drive to you (possibly more if you are quite far away). If you are interested in purchasing more than one lesson, I would also happily discuss a package deal. > > Please email me at tess(a)ohioshakespeare.com or call my work number at 330-374-7574 with questions or to schedule. > >
