*Join us for our next and final Seat of the Pants Artist Workshop of the season!* Whether you feel emotionally taxed after working on difficult material or wish you had more tools to play with while in the rehearsal room, this workshop is for you. Adult theatre makers, directors, writers, actors, designers, participants, enthusiasts of all levels are welcome. Per the generosity of ArtsInStark, we will be hosting two sessions of this workshop for greater accessibility across NE Ohio. One Session will be in Cleveland and the other will be in Canton. More details below! *Tools of the Technique for Wellness and Scene Study** with Guest Teacher, Dr. Howard Pippin Jr.* In this workshop, Howard will lead participants in exploring how acting techniques and tools inspire and create brave, safer spaces during rehearsal. Participants will learn and work with tools specific to the Michael Chekhov technique and then apply them to short open scenes and character building. These are tools that are helpful when working on emotionally difficult material, when preparing sides for an audition or scenes for rehearsal on a quick timeline, and in taking command of your character and narrative building all around. *Cleveland: Monday, June 8, 6:30 pm-9:30 pm* Sokol Greater Cleveland, (at Bohemian National Hall), 4939 Broadway Avenue, Cleveland, OH 44127 Parking is available on site in the lot behind the building.
