KCACTF Region IV - Festival 51

According to the Moscow Art Theatre School, there three main elements of acting are focus, ensemble, and imagination. This workshop focuses on the first two in that list. The exercises in this session are designed to develop focus skills and foster a sense of ensemble that is often difficult to achieve in early stages of actor training or in a short rehearsal period. Actors and instructors of all levels are invited to attend.

Theatrical Intimacy Education imparts directors, performers, production designers/crew/management and teaching artists/educators with the knowledge and tools for approaching sensitive material (for stage, film, and television) safely and ethically. In this workshop, participants will learn best practices for discussing and staging intimate content in class, rehearsal, and coaching without sacrificing creative vision and maintaining the joy of the creative process. All participants will be provided with the clear, specific vocabulary necessary to stage sensitive content, and will learn how to resolve potential moments of conflict in a positive, productive, and collaborative manner.
