In this beginning/intermediate acting class we’ll cover:

• Where did GOTE come from?

• How do I stay spontaneous in a pre-written scene?

• What makes acting compelling?

• Why keeps me from sounding plastic?

All you need is a device that can access Google Hangouts Meet, a monologue, and a sense of adventure!

Artist Self Care Virtual Sharing Session (weekly)
Thursday, May 7, 5:30 PM

We'd love to hear from artists, arts administrators, and art supporters about what they are doing to make it through this challenging period. We’ll be hosting a round table of folks sharing what gets them through the day. This is a place where all artists are welcome to come and share their victories, their challenges, and their struggles. We do ask that you come with a heart full of empathy and a desire to share love and joy with other artmakers. BYOB. Or Tea. Or whatever you'd like, it's after 5 o'clock!
