WORKING WITH A DIRECTOR: Rehearsing and developing your material One on One!
As a soloist, how do you breakdown your script and adapt it to the stage? How can you make your performance engaging and vibrant? What are you looking for from a director? This workshop intensive will include performance tips, rehearsal exercises, staging techniques, and analysis of your material. Each participant will work onstage with an aspect of their craft.
Two Workshop Intensive Options:
Individual Sessions: One on One rehearsals with performer and director (One Hour Each --- $125, pay $99 now & 26 at the class)
Group Sessions: Only 6-8 students. Class size limited in order for plentiful stage time. ($75 each)
Prerequisite: Please provide pages of written material for the rehearsal workshop.
Description
Taught by Paul Stein, the former Associate Producer of the HBO Workspace and currently Artistic Director of the Comedy Central Stage in Hollywood, these intensives will show you how to create and make decisive choices with your show... not obvious ones.
Helpful to the beginner or experienced soloists, these workshops are for everyone from stand-up comedians to performers with more dramatic pieces. Mr. Stein's unique look at solo performance, gained from a dozen years of working with solo shows in Hollywood and at numerous festivals, will provide a perspective that cannot be missed.
This workshop is proudly presented by W. Kamau Bell & The Solo Performance Workshop.
