Corey Fischer presents Theatre Making Intensive (SF)

Friday, August 1: 7 - 9 PM,
 Saturday and Sunday, August 2 and 3: 12:30 -6:30 PM.

The theme will be: creating original theatre that bridges personal
(autobiographical) and collective (ancestral, social, political,historical) material.Corey Fischer, one of the founding members of A Travelling Jewish Theatre, will share some of the processes that he and his colleagues have developed over the past 30 years of making theatre that weaves these various realmstogether.

To find out more about the work of ATravelling Jewish Theatre http://www.atjt.com

In the workshop, participants will explore – in both solo and ensemble forms – ways of working with a variety of source materials: poetry, prose fiction and non-fiction, personal writing, personal and ancestral story, songs and improvisation. You'll create some rough beginnings to experience how these tools can work and how the personal and the collective persectives can provoke and enliven each other to form something larger. Much of the work will be active and embodied, but
there'll also be some time to discuss and reflect.

COST: $250 [$200 for NET members/members of NET theatres]
A Phone interview required. If interested, email  corey@coreyfischer.com or call (415) 596-3433.
He'll be posting more details in days to come on his own website <http://www.coreyfischer.com> .

Arne Zaslow Classes in Seattle

Seattle Clown Classes with Arne Zaslove

Arne Zaslove is teaching a class on clowning and physical theater in Seattle on 7 consecutive Mondays starting July 7. Classes will be held from 7 pm- 8:30 pm.

Classes will be held at [SANCA] The School for Acrobatics and New Circus Arts – 674 S. Orcas, Seattle. The class is a very reasonable $133.

Arne Zaslove is a director, teacher, mask specialist and physical theater consultant. As a Fulbright scholar, Arne was the first American to study at Ecole Jacques Lecoq in Paris. There he absorbed a deep understanding of masks and of physical theater. He later apprenticed with commedia dell' arte master Carlo Mazzone-Clementi (who went on to found the Dell' Arte School of Physical Theatre in Blue Lake).

Arne's method of training actors was synthesized through years as Artistic Director of the National Theatre School in Canada, co-founder of the University of Washington PATP program, and Associate Professor at the University of British Columbia. His approach focuses on freeing the individual's body and imagination through a carefully devised sequence of physical exercises, mask work and improvisation. His students have gone on to varied and successful careers, from the circus to Stratford and Hollywood.

Arne has directed and taught in many regional theaters and universities across the U.S. and Canada. During his 20-year tenure as Artistic Director of the Bathhouse Theatre in Seattle, his updated Shakespeare productions and 17 versions of The Big Broadcast (a tribute to the golden age of radio) were especially popular with audiences for their sensitive interpretations and inventive flair. Arne has also worked extensively with David Shiner, and directed the cabaret/theatre/dinner show Pomp, Duck, and Circumstance, which has been featured in Berlin, Seattle, and San Francisco.
