SOLO PERFORMANCE INTENSIVE with Director Paul Stein (Two Options)
WORKING WITH A DIRECTOR: Rehearsing and developing your material One on One!
December 11, 10am-1pm OR December 12, 2p-5p
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.
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 perspective that cannot be missed.
Prerequisite: Please provide pages of written material for the rehearsal workshop.
Participants are welcome to purchase both blocks as they want. If you want to come to two group classes, please bring different solo pieces or excerpts from the same piece to work on each day.
