I’ve been thinking a lot about recreational contemporary theatre, and am about to start a pilot program. I’m leading a workshop / rehearsal process for people who have little or no experience with acting and little or no desire to become professional actors. We will be working on Brecht’s Saint Joan of the Stockyards over ten weeks: doing monologues, small scenes and big scenes. Working on speaking, some physical work and some improvisation. We will show something at the end.
I know lots of my friends are theatre people, but maybe (just maybe) you know someone who isn’t and might be interested in this.
Anyone can email me at
jacob@smallwoodenshoe.org if they want to ask any questions, get a full outline or register.
Thanks
Jacob
