One Day Workshop: Girls Who Play Boys Who Play Girls
Instructors: Mark Grenier & Caitlin McClure
Saturday, March 19, 12:00pm - 3:00pm
Cost: $30
Want to play characters of the opposite sex for real? This class will help you expand the range of choices you make on stage when playing a guy or a girl. We will focus on bringing subtlety and nuance to the broad stereotypes, and making your opposite-sex characters more three-dimensional and memorable. You will get lots of time practicing different body types, ways of walking and talking, and applying your new skills to scenes. And you’ll be able to learn from the experts—each other! Open to men and women. Prerequisite: Level One or equivalent experience.
