Workshops

Fallbrook Players to Offer a Wide Range of Theatre Workshops This Summer

          Starting Monday June 28th and running through Friday, July 2nd, 9:00am – noon, students ages 8 – 18 will be able to work with award-winning choreographer Allisan Whitman to hone their dance skills and have a blast with the very popular Spontaneous Musical Workshop.  Students will spend the week learning routines and then go to public places to surprise unsuspecting people as they go about their daily business.  The look on people’s faces when you randomly break out in song and dance in the most unsuspecting places…priceless.

          A Long Form Improvisation class will be offered on Saturday, July 10th, from 10:00am – 4:00pm.  Taught by Brian Weissman and assisted by Gale Abille, improv is a theatre skill one must have to succeed on the stage, and extremely helpful in real life too!  This is a side-splitting day with some serious learning. In this workshop, students will learn the basics of long-form improvisation: a performance in which a group of actors creates interconnected comedic scenes, on the spot, from a single suggestion. This workshop is for ages 11 – 18.

          Improvisation for Storytelling is the third workshop in the line-up. In this workshop, students will learn the art of improvisational storytelling. This art form is one that true actors need to cultivate and frequently practice. Brian & Gale will be using storytelling games to help students master communication, learn about language, and practice thinking skills. This workshop is for ages 8 - 18 and will be divided into ability groups. Saturday, July 17th, 10:00am – 4:00pm.

          Work That Song!  comes just in time for students to sharpen their skills to land a coveted role in the Fallbrook Players’ fall production of Les Miserables.  In this workshop, students will learn to pick the right song for their voice, how to cut the song to the best 16 bars (or one minute) to show off their vocal skills, and how to get the most from the audition accompanist.  Also included will be vocal technique, music theory, and how to get a backtrack made for auditions.  Offered Saturday, July 24th, from noon – 4:00pm, this workshop is for all levels ages 8 – 18 and will be geared to the individual’s level, from beginning to very advanced.  Taught by award-winning musical director Leigh Sutherlin and assisted by Thomas Harker.  Limited enrollment.

    Stage Management is our final workshop and it begins August 1st, and runs through October 3rd, with meetings scheduled to match with participant's schedules.  Taught by Dana Carr, one of the resident stage managers for Moonlight Amphitheatre and other professional venues. Ms. Carr will teach the techniques and practice of stage management, including the organization and preparation of a production book from rehearsal through the cueing of a production. Also covered will be the art of navigating the relationship between the stage manager and the artistic, administrative, and production staffs,  stress management, time management and performance maintenance. This workshop is for ages 12 - 18 and is limited to 10 students.  The perfect workshop for those who love the behind the scenes action and would like to someday work at a professional venue.

          Complete information and registration forms for all of these workshops and Fallbrook Players’ upcoming production of Les Miserables can be found on their website at www.FallbrookPlayers.com or by calling 760-728-0998.

This class is open to all levels! In this class students will learn the fundamentals of drama. In class we will play multiple theater games to improve confidence and commitment on (and off) stage. We will use improvisations to stimulate creativity and stretch our acting muscles and eventually move on to monologue and/or scene work to practice our new skills. Class will culminate in a small, in-class showcase where parents and friends can witness their young actor's growth

The class is aimed to improve acting technique, improve confidence and teach students how to project their naturally effervescent personalities toward an audience.
