Participants will look at how to challenge your students by bringing theory into the classroom and by empowering students to take their drama work out to the public. The workshop will explore turning drama into theatre. It will feature discussions on topics such as how to apply the intent of the drama game to the theatre, grappling with the classics of Theatre, the strength of the script and script analysis. Participants are asked bring at least one lesson, activity or idea you want to share with others. Special Effects Makeup: Blood, Bruises, & Deconstructing Special Effects – Kyle Collins Fresh from the Winnipeg Fringe zombie extravaganza show Cursed, Kyle Collins introduces, demonstrates, deconstructs, and guides the creation of special effects on the stage and screen. Instead of revulsion at the site of a zombie creature shuffling towards its prey with an eight-inch piece of glass jutting from its eye, we examine the tools, techniques, and materials likely used to create the effect; thereby taking its power away. In this seminar, you will be introduced to the Blood, Guts, & Gore – Special Effects Makeup unit that Kyle has been utilizing to great success for the past four years. This unit helps to appeal to the artistic and hands-on artists in the theatre classroom. In this workshop, you will learn the materials used to create stage effects and how to use them; how to construct two basic effects with minimal effort, time, and materials; and how to create a believable effect with household materials. Energize your Devised Theatre Pieces – Talia Pura Have you been doing Collective Creations forever, and are ready for some new exercises to generate material? This workshop will use TIMS - Tableaux, Improvisation, Movement and the Spoken Word, to give you the possibility of looking at collectives in a new way. Instructor Talia Pura is an accomplished theatre artist and educator. She just released her second book CUES: Theatre Training & Projects from Classroom to Stage. This book, and others brought by the publisher, will be available for purchase at SAGE. Flat Building – Jim Alexander The basic theatrical flat is one of the essential pieces of scenery that any theatre company can use. It can easily transform any space into another world. Although it is a basic piece of scenery, many teachers are unsure of the best methods to create these transformative pieces of canvas and wood. If you are one of those teachers, this workshop will empower and inspire you! In this workshop, the talented Jim Alexander will demonstrate an affordable lesson that will teach participants how to properly build a stage flat and stretch canvas over a stage flat. This lesson is easily transferable to students (Grade 5 through to Grade 12), so it can be used to encourage the budding set designers in our midst. Participants will be working with practical materials and they will receive a handout to use in their classes. Improve Character Through Improv – Stephen Sim Creating characters that are stirring and believable is not an easy task, but it is an essential skill to have as a theatre artist. In this workshop, participants will use Improv-based activities to create dynamic, well-rounded characters. Come out and learn hands-on activities that you can employ on Monday that will help your students create bigger, broader characters! Stephen is one half of Winnipeg's own international improv troupe, CRUMBS, having performed extensively all over the world. This has meant that CRUMBS has been able to work with every single improviser (likely) at least once, some of whom are considered to be gurus, innovators and pioneers in the art form. CRUMBS then steals of the good ideas from all over the world and use them for themselves. On this day, Stephen will share some of these with you!
