*Three Spots Left for Summer ‘Stratford’ Workshop on July 22*


PITTSFIELD, MA (18-07-12)- Kristen van Ginhoven, WAM Theatre’s Artistic
Director, will teach a workshop on Sunday, July 22 from 1pm-4:30 at Eleven
in Great Barrington where she will share what she learned while recently
working at the Stratford Shakespeare Festival of Canada. The cost is $49
and a portion of proceeds will go towards WAM’s fall world premiere
production of ‘The Old Mezzo’ by Susan Dworkin.
  The workshop will explore classical text analysis and character
development as well as revisit the physical and vocal warm-up and how to
work on a thrust stage. Workshop is appropriate for actors and directors.
Everyone is asked to bring a classical monologue, written in verse. No prep
on monologue is required. All levels of experience are welcome.   *“I found
the workshop clear, to-the-point, and useful in many practical ways” said
Schenectady June Workshop Participant** *David Braucher, Equity Actor.
Roseann Cane, actor and director adds, *‘“**Kristen provided tools that are
new to me, and I know I’m going to find them useful, especially the way of
breaking down a monologue in layers, from parentheticals on down.**” *
