A workshop meets regularly over a period of weeks to develop a specific set of skills. Workshops have a planned scope and sequence of learning outcomes. There are both group and single-student classes, and they are offered at multiple times throughout the year. It may also be a unique session that presents a special topic or a master class that focuses on developing an awareness of specific skills. All workshops are hands-on, so the learner can expect to be actively “doing”. This spring we are pleased to offer a variety of acting workshops. Unlike the training that we do in conjunction with a project, these workshops stand independently, and are not linked to a final production. There's something for everyone!Spring 2012 Workshops take place at:
