*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. With support from ArtsinStark, we are able to bring our workshops to Stark County this year! We just held a very successful full class in Cleveland and we'd love for you to join us in Canton! *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 braver, 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. *Canton: Sunday, June 14, 6:00 pm-9:00 pm* Players Guild Theatre, Kent State Stark campus, 6000 Frank Ave NW, North Canton, OH 44720 Parking is available on site in the lot behind the building. Ensemble members will be present to help direct you inside. *TO REGISTER *for our Canton Session, email Mike.glavan@gmail.com and reserve your spot by making a $5 deposit to Seat of the Pants via Venmo Cash app or Zelle.
