Workshop Title
  Yoga for Actors
Description
  Since the human body is the actor’s instrument, this beginner’s yoga class will provide students with a warm up to prepare their bodies for performance and release tension. Tension in the body not only impedes the range of movement and vocal possibilities to which actors can find easy access, but it also terminates organic impulses. Therefore, elimination of this tension can allow students to become more effectual in asserting their presence into their environment and work. No experience required. Mats are provided, or students may bring one.

Workshop Title
  Meisner for Actors
Description
  Meisner exercises will enable students to get “out of their heads” and work moment to moment from impulse, free from self-consciousness. Students are encouraged to bring a short monologue or memorized piece of text to apply the technique in a practical way while working with a partner, but that is certainly not a requirement to participate.
