EdgeWare
Productions will be in Apalachicola from March 20-24 as an
artist residency, to conduct community-centered workshops and
culminating in two performances of their play, A
Woman by Design on
Friday and Saturday evenings, March 23 and 24.
The workshops
are designed to reach a broad audience from young children to adults.
The two Shakespeare themed workshops are limited to 25 active
participants, but parents, teachers, and those interested in acting
Shakespeare are welcome to observe.
SHAKE HANDS WITH SHAKESPEARE March 20th 4:00pm
This workshop, designed for
young children, provides an overview of Shakespeare’s life and
times.
Creative movement, voice,
and articulation joins with background information on theater in
general, Shakespeare’s legacy in particular, and why we humans are
compelled to tell stories. By the conclusion of the 60-minute
workshop, participants will have learned a short piece from A
Midsummer Night’s Dream,
complete with actions to accompany the words. Ideal for students
1st-4th grades.
ACTION! WORD! WORD!
ACTION! March
21st 4:00pm
For older students and
adults, this session builds on the messages in Shake Hands with
Shakespeare, with an emphasis on historical perspective, upbeat vocal
exercises, and stressing movement, articulation, and vocal
projection. Drawing inspiration from Hamlet’s Advice
to the Players, which admonishes that actors “Suit the action to
the word, the word to the action” participants will have a greater
understanding of Shakespeare’s timelessness and a greater
appreciation of his legacy.
AUDITION WORKSHOP March 22nd 7:00pm
Theatre professionals David
Edgecombe and Elizabeth Ware will lead a discussion on audition
techniques, do’s and do not’s, and the importance of being
prepared and having a positive attitude. Insights on audition pieces,
how to dress, and an inside look at what a director is looking for in
auditions will be shared. Participants are encouraged to bring a 1-2
minute monologue, but this is not required for participation.
Appropriate for adults and high school students.
There is no cost for
participants, but donations are welcome. For more information
