debut one man show we are proud to offer Body Physics, an interactive
workshop which will seek to explain and demonstrate the process
which has gone into the creation of Rough House thus far. The goal
of the workshop is to give a basic physical understanding of movement
and slapstick, and create a personal springboard in which to realize
your own creative physical goals. This two-day intensive will explore
role playing, balance, body-momentum, body protections, rolls and
the like. Pre-requisites: Some physical background
is required (dance, movement, theatrical/body training) Please submit
a short description of your physical ackground, as well as the reasons
for your interest in this course. A resume is also helpful, but
not mandatory (if you don't have one). Andy Massingham has just completed a sold-out run of his one-man theatre/movement extravaganza, Rough House. A company member at the Stratford Festival, Andy has appeared in A Midsummer Night's Dream, The Count of Monte Cristo and The Swanne. His credits include productions with Soulpepper (Platonov, A Streetcar Named Desire), Tarragon Theatre (Fathers and Sons, Pants on Fire, Unexpected Moves - Dora Award nomination), and numerous shows at Young Peoples' Theatre, the Banff Centre's Advanced Actors' workshop and Theatre Direct. He is a teacher, movement coach and workshop leader, and was the Physical Comedy Instructor at Humber College from 2000-2004. His previous work with Nightswimming includes playing The Boy in the premiere of Jane Urquhart's The Whirlpool at the Tarragon Theatre. Finding Your Feet as an Actor
by Julian Richings An actor-friendly workshop focusing on the process
of getting the text on its feet. So often for an actor, "blocking"
can mean confinement and contradiction. We will take the first steps
toward realizing a script, looking for openings not blockage! Using
published scripts and plays-in-development, we will utilize exercises
that hone personal skills, instinct, and serve the text. n.b. This
is not an audition preparation class Pre-requisites: No specific level of
interest required, but interest and energy is amust - please send
a letter of interest that includes your background. Julian Richings is one of Canada's most acclaimed actors. He has been teaching workshops for professionals, universities and high schools for over 20 years. He has collaborated with Nightswimming for many years on plays in development, and he performed the original production of Don Druick's Through The Eyes. He has worked in theatres throughout Toronto, Canada and Europe and has received two Dora Awards for his performances. He has also worked extensively in film including: Hard Core Logo, Red Violin, Cube, The Claim (for which he received a Genie nomination), My Life Without Me, Open Range, Wrong Turn and the recent tv series Stephen King's Kingdom Hospital. .............................................................................................
