Our final FREE Actor Workshop is coming up on June 8th at 6:30 PM (Cleveland) and June 14th at 6:00 PM (Canton, made possible by ArtsinStark) and there are still a few spots left. Join us for MICHAEL CHEKHOV & FOSTERING ACTOR WELLNESS IN SCENE STUDY AND REHEARSAL, led by 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.

To sign-up, check out the more complete info at seatofthepants.org/programs, and then e-mail [email protected].
