SUMMARY:Sanctum Drawing School Costume Clinic
DESCRIPTION:Our first Costume Clinic! This will be an open session to drop-in\, fix a small detail\, or get started on a last-minute big idea.

We’ll be prepping a number of material work stations to have quick and easy access to fixes and extras. We’ll have a small supply of materials to work with\, but encourage you to bring your idea and needed supplies and we can help you get on track to be ready for the week’s festivities. Materials will include light sewing & repairs\, glue gun and adhesives assistance\, rivets and cold connections\, light leather work\, EVA foam fabrication\, and painting! Feel free to reach out with questions in advance!

Actors and directors learn and discuss safety\, fight styles\, the rehearsal process\, and overview of stage combat disciplines such as unarmed fighting and sword techniques. Tina Gramann is a professional fight choreographer and has staged over 100 fight scenes for the stage. During her tenure in Austin\, Texas\, she served as resident fight choreographer for Austin Shakespeare Company\, and fight choreographer for professional regional theater Zachary Scott Theatre Center (ZACH Theatre) staging numerous fights\, notably for Pulitzer Prize winning playwright Suzan- Lori Parks’ world premiere of The Book of Grace; and ZACH Theater’s innovative production of Porgy and Bess which was featured in the New York Times.

Rather than diving into a character’s backstory\, Viewpoints allow you to more holistically embody a character to evoke certain emotions from your audience. This style of acting is highly collaborative and is best used in ensemble pieces.  In our Viewpoints workshop we’ll spend some time getting into our bodies and exploring some of the basic viewpoints. We will then work together to craft some improvised stories as an ensemble. Please come dressed to move! Stretchy pants and bare feet are highly encouraged. Please note that the nature of Viewpoints exercises incorporates some physical contact\, and participants should be comfortable with appropriate physical touch. Liz Dunn is thrilled to be a part of the second annual Salida Theater Festival! She received her BFA\, in Theater Performing and Directing\, from Fort Lewis College in Durango\, CO and has worked with several companies throughout the state. Previous credits include Sally Brown in You’re a Good Man Charlie Brown and June in Chicago at the Pagos Center for the Arts\, Kenni in Bas Blue’s production of Becky’s New Car\, Mattie Silks in TINTS various productions\, and Pip in Love…Really and chorus in Rocky Mountain Horror Picture Show with Salida Theater Project. She recently joined the Salida Theater Project’s board and is thrilled to be expanding her impact in a company that she holds near and dear to her heart.  \nSATURDAY\, SEPTEMBER 28 WORKSHOPS AT THE SCOUT HUT \n\nCLOWNING led by Jennifer Dempsey.

THEATER WORKSHOP: Intro to Improv Comedy Tickets\, Sat\, Sep 28\, 2024 at 2:15 PM | Eventbrite \nIn this class\, participants can expect to learn and practice three foundational principles of improv comedy: agreement\, supporting your scene partner\, and free association.
