In this introduction to acting workshop, international students will have the opportunity to learn basic acting technique while improving their English skills. We will incorporate voice work, physical improvisation and scene study to prepare students to perform in American English. The 5 session class will culminate in a presentation of  monologues and scenes. In keeping with our mission to promote international theatre by living artists, we will draw on texts by contemporary international playwrights from around the world. Students will have the choice to work on contemporary American texts or translate their scene or monologue into English from their native tongue, if they so desire.  The class will include regular visits to international theatre events followed by discussion.

This class is also appropriate for American students who want to connect to the international community and improve their skills in translating international plays for the American theatre.

When: Saturdays 11-2
