INTRODUCTION TO ACTING
Thursdays from September 23 to November 11, 6PM– 8PM, $250
Explore the techniques and vocabulary essential to understanding the craft of creating a performance through scene study. This class is open to those who already have caught the theater-bug, as well as beginners who are curious about performing – or those who are simply interested in discussing acting through more informed eyes. Learn by doing. Rehearsal outside of class time is required. The class is also invited to attend the final dress rehearsal of Absurd Person Singular on October 14th.
Taught by Associate Artistic Director Tyler Dobrowsky.
AUDITION TECHNIQUES
Mondays from September 20 to November 8, 7PM-9PM, $275
Whether you’re looking to get back into acting, planning to audition for graduate school or for a local theater production, we can help you hone the techniques necessary to audition successfully. This class will explore different types of acting auditions, with a special emphasis on the two-monologue theatrical audition. Students will work on auditioning with both monologues and short scenes, and will learn helpful techniques on how best to present themselves, as well as common pitfalls to avoid. The class will culminate in a mock audition in which each student presents two monologues and receives feedback from Trinity Rep artists.
Taught by Company Member Joe Wilson Jr. ADVANCED ACTING
Saturdays from January 22 to March 12, 10AM-12:30PM, $300
Take your craft to the next level with Company Member Fred Sullivan Jr. in this advanced scene study class. Create a performance through basic minimal improvisation, monologue work and scene study, while delving further into script analysis and character development. Rehearsal time outside class is required. Tuition includes admission for two to a production at Trinity Rep. Permission from the instructor is required (please contact cazano@trinityrep.com for more details).
Taught by Company Member Fred Sullivan Jr. INTRO TO IMPROV
Mondays from February 28 to April 18, 7PM-9PM, $275
Improv is theater that is performed as it is created. While humor is not its goal, improvisational theater can be hilariously funny. This class will focus on the basics of improvisation, including accepting and building, establishing point of view, and creating a world in which to play.
Taught by Company Member Mauro Hantman SHAKESPEARE
Saturdays from April 23 to June 11, 10AM-12:30PM, $300
This is a scene study class dedicated to exploring the works of William Shakespeare. Students will learn how to develop skills to inhabit and activate Shakespeare's gorgeous language and vital characters and to bring to life the raucous humor, deep tragedy, and profound humanity inherent in the writing. Rehearsal time outside class is required. Tuition includes admission for two to a production at Trinity Rep. Permission from the instructor is required (please contact cazano@trinityrep.com for more details).
Taught by Company Member Fred Sullivan Jr. BEYOND THE STAGE AT TRINITY REP
Spend your Saturday mornings at the theater.
Come explore and investigate the Trinity Rep artistic process in our new and improved Beyond The Stage Series. Led by Linda Sutherland (with guest speakers Curt Columbus, Tyler Dobrowsky, and members of Trinity Rep's artistic team), participants will engage in a plethora of workshop activities, discussions, play readings and behind the scenes encounters that will center around specific themes and concepts that connect to our work onstage. FALL SESSION: The Stars of Stage & Screen
Saturdays from September 18 to November 6, 10AM-12PM, $100
How is the experience of watching a live performance different from watching a film? What is the relationship between these two similar - yet different - artistic mediums? The fall section of the Beyond the Stage series will examine the benefits as well as the disadvantages of turning a play into a movie (and a movie into a play), with a particular emphasis on Camelot and It's A Wonderful Life.
SPRING SESSION: GIRLS GIRLS GIRLS! Live Onstage and Totally RUDE!
Saturdays from February 26 to April 16, 10AM-12PM, $100
Medea. Lady Macbeth. Abigail Williams. Wicked, tempestuous - and always interesting. Throughout history, there have been some wonderfully complex women to grace the stage, and we invite you to join us as we explore and investigate their historical significance and timeless appeal, especially through the lens of our own season offerings, The Crucible and Steel Magnolias, as well as the women from the Greeks to contemporary theater.
To reserve your place, contact Caroline Azano at (401) 521-1100 x230 or cazano@trinityrep.com.
