In this year marking the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare's death, a freshly re-imagined

questions. Presented by Asolo Rep and the FSU/Asolo Conservatory for Actor Training,

throughout October and November 2016. This season’s production will be directed by
New York City-based director Jen Wineman, who helmed last season’s wildly successful
adaptation of A Midsummer Night’s Dream.
This performance is free of charge to all FTC Festival badge holders. On stage immediately
following the performance, the cast and crew will participate in a “Talk-Back Session” workshop,

Journey from Stage to Screen
Anthony McMurray- New York Conservatory for Dramatic Arts
In this workshop discover the differences between acting in front of an audience and in front of the
camera. Actors must be able to work in both mediums, but most lack any training in the fastest
growing areas of our industry. What are an actor’s responsibilities on-stage and on-set? How does
direction differ? How do you prepare for your scenes without a director? What kinds of choices
serve the material in each medium? Take this opportunity to find out about hitting your mark,
tracking your continuity, adjusting to your frame, and keeping your performance alive in every
take.

From the Table to the Stage
Chris Berry- AEA, Florida A&M University
As theatre artists we are striving to continually find the most effective way to tell the story we have
chosen. We hold production meetings, company meetings, workshops and any other method that
we feel is feasible to create a company of artists that can create the clearest and most dynamic
product. During this process we often skip over the one thing that is the soul reason that a story
can be dynamic and captivating... THE WORDS! This process called table work has grown to be
something that is a formality to most companies that bides the time until "acting" can happen
when people get on their feet. I feel that we then have done ourselves a disservice because we
skipped a huge part of the theatre making process. The key to great acting, is great table work. I
will facilitate a workshop that engages students and gives them an introductory example of how
dynamic, dangerous, and effective table work can aid in the creative process.
SFC – BUILDING E, CLASSROOM E-105
Monologue Mondays
Tiffany Weagly- PerformerStuff.com

activity that works for high school students in upper level theatre classes. This workshop will aim to
teach the teacher how to use monologues to bring out the very best in their students. Over the
course of 5 years, I used monologue Mondays in upper level theatre classes and it proved to be the
most valuable lesson in all of high school theatre. Combined with the power of
Performerstuff.com's resources, Monologue Mondays will revolutionize high school acting.

Raising the Steaks…er..Stakes: How to Find the Meaty Stuff When Developing
Your Character
Selena Ambush- Daytona State College
Playwrights make deliberate choices when they are crafting the characters that people the world of
their plays. However, a good playwright also leaves much to the imagination for the actor and

below the surface of each character.
In this workshop, find out how to go foraging for these nuances and how to Raise the Stakes by
making the most active and powerful choices for character and relationship. Scenes will be
provided but pairs of students may bring a scene on which they are already working.
The workshop will start with a brief vocal and physical warm-up. Come prepared to move

Improving your work through Improvisation
Anthony McMurray- New York Conservatory for Dramatic Arts
We often find ourselves as performers tied in knots before, during, and after performances when in
reality our goal is as simple as giving ourselves permission to speak. Improvisation doesn’t have to
be what we’ve seen on “Who’s Line Is It Anyway”. Often times the more serious we take the
improv exercise the more we can gain. This workshop will lead attendees through a series of
improv exercises in the hope of finding a stronger, more specific performative impulse.

On Camera/On Stage
Phillip M Church, Associate Professor, Theatre
Florida International University, Miami
A practical workshop exploring the fusion of stage and screen for the actor-director. Be sure to
bring a notepad or ipad. Camera or iphone.
Q: What do actors Meryl Streep and Ethan Hawke and directors Sam Mendes and Jodi Foster
have in common?
A: They are some of the best examples of crossover artists moving constantly between stage and
film. Phillip M Church, Associate Professor of Theatre at Florida International University will share
with those who have an eye on acting and directing some of his insights into the complementary
techniques of film and theatre. Drawing from stage and screen techniques both in front and behind
the camera the actor-director will discover new avenues of expression through the reciprocity of
both mediums. In Professor Church’s view the one serves the other. So, whether your focus is on
acting or directing come and discover the benefits of creative “payback” as theatre and film inform
and enhance each other’s world.

Creative Courage: Working Through Creative Blocks
Camila Morrison, Louisiana State University
Often we find ourselves in a creative “block” and have trouble finding ways to move
forward in our creative work. Sometimes our students have trouble even starting a
project because they fear creative work. In this workshop, we will practice different
ways of moving our students and ourselves forward in creative projects past the fear
and blocks. These exercises can be used in a large classroom, in small groups, or on
your own. Not only can the activities be used to identify the source of a “block,” which
is often fear, but they can be used to create a discussion between teachers and students
to figure out why a student might be having trouble with a project. I’ve found that if I
give a project in my class that requires “creativity,” I will often have at least one student
who expresses that they are not creative, or that this type of project scares them. One
of these exercises usually helps them move forward with the project, leap past the fear
of not being creative, and it proves to them that they are a creative individual.
Sometimes it is a matter of making a mark on a blank page and remembering that even
that shows that work has begun. A blank page can be scary because the possibilities are
endless. Sometimes the fear and creative block comes from not having enough
information, so we then talk about going back to research (with a set goal in mind) or
brainstorming activities that can spark new ideas. Creating lists, then cutting the list in
half and half again can help us focus a concept or ideas for design. Ultimately I think this
workshop could benefit artists who find themselves stuck or procrastinating on projects
or teachers that want to help students past these blocks and fear. If we have the right
tools to be able to move forward in our creative work, then we would be able to create
more art in a fast-paced environment. Students will be more prepared for the
professional world, and established artists will be reminded and renewed to
courageously continue their work. Individuals will leave with a downloadable workbook
of the exercises, which will be projected and used in the workshop. Examples of
completed activities or questions that will be posed to the group will also be projected
for ease of communication.

Use Your Whole Self!
Missy Barnes- Rollins College
“Use your body!” - "Get out of your head!" are two of the most frequent directions offered to
young actors. This workshop will focus on embodying choices that can be translated into physically
expressed emotion and playable actions. Throughout the course of the workshop we will explore a
variety of physical acting approaches, including exercises taken from the work of F.M. Alexander,
Rudolph Laban, and Michael Chekhov. We will discuss what is meant by "making a choice" as an
actor and delve into application of physicalized choices to text. Participants should arrive dressed
to move and have a short piece of memorized text (3-4 lines) to explore.

There’s Truth in Singing
Shelley Cooper, LaGrange College
Will present a practical Masterclass on singing for Musical Theatre using the work of
voice and speech specialist, Arthur Lessac called “There’s Truth in Singing”. Lessac voice
and speech work integrates oral, physical, visual, and written tools in a clear, energized
way and promotes a physical awareness of sound by appealing to the kinesthetic
learner. The basis of the Masterclass is that in the world of Musical Theatre and Opera,
it is not acceptable to simply have a pretty voice; you must be able to portray the
character you are singing and ground it in reality. If you have emotional intellect to your
lyrics, know whom you are singing to, and why you are singing to this person/people,
truth in singing can be done with ease. Through a series of physical, breathing, and vocal
exercises, inspired greatly by the work of voice and speech specialist Arthur Lessac, we
will unleash our true natural singing voices.
