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.

Jennifer Dempsey founded the Salida Circus in 2007. She has been a circus performer for 35 years\, as an acrobat\, stilt walker\, unicyclist\, juggler\, comedy actor. Jennifer trained in clowning with Angela De Castro\, Peta Lilly and Circo Rum Baba. In this workshop\, Jennifer will show how “clown” is a verb and will take participants through simple exercises to show the simplicity and endless possibilities of clowning. No experience required\, just an openness and willingness to try!  \n“YES\, AND… “ An INTRODUCTION to IMPROV COMEDY led by Garrison Garcia. Saturday\, September 28\, 2:15pm- 3:15pm at the Salida Scout Hut. 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.

After 60 minutes\, participants will leave with a greater understanding of key tenets of improv and will have several games they can continue to practice. Please come in comfortable shoes and be ready to move! According to his mother\, Garrison Garcia is “very funny” and has been leveraging that trait through improv comedy since 2013. The founder of two headlining Arizona improv troupes (Tiny Punches and Chomsky School of Business)\, Garrison loves to make people laugh and discover the joys of improv.

THEATER WORKSHOP: Intro to Acting & Auditioning Tickets\, Sat\, Sep 28\, 2024 at 3:30 PM | Eventbrite \nActors become used to transforming into someone different than themselves.  This is the essence of Acting.  There are also techniques for actors to learn and use to audition for Theater Projects. In this Workshop we will explore the ‘how-to’s of transformation: vocal\, physical\, and emotional.  We will also explore several different audition styles used by Theater Directors today.

SUMMARY:Something Great! Finding Myself in the Belfast Circus - Part 1
DESCRIPTION:In 1989\, a twenty-one-year-old American college dropout moves to Belfast\, hoping that the Troubles in Northern Ireland will take care of her own. They do\, but not in the way she ever imagined. “Something Great” is a raw portrait of a young woman who loses her way but finds herself in the Belfast Circus. \nWritten and performed by Salida Circus director Jennifer Dempsey\, this 75-minute dramedy is a coming-of-age story about searching for purpose and finding it in the most unlikely of places.

SUMMARY:Mountain Octopus
DESCRIPTION:“Mountain Octopus” chronicles a few days in Chance – a town very similar to Salida itself and to the mythical Grover’s Corners of Wilder’s OUR TOWN. A town where people live a quiet life\, enjoying each other’s company\, looking forward to tomorrow with few expectations. A town that accepts the inevitable pains of life as well as the hoped-for joy. A town that takes everyone’s problems seriously\, but with a grain of salt. This is a new play written by Beth Kander that was commissioned by Creede Repertory Theater and produced during their 2023 season. Ms. Kander catches the essence of small-town life and gives each player an appropriate answer to their “what do I do now” questions. Thornton Wilder would approve of this script and so will you. Directed by Devon Jencks Kasper.

SUMMARY:Taking Tea with the Ripper
DESCRIPTION:This one-man show by playwright Mike Broemmel is considered the most disturbing play around — but in a most spectacular way. The play brings you face-to-face with the “London Gentleman” on the night of the infamous Jack the Ripper’s first murder. The play brings a theater-goer up close to unbridled insanity. The play stars Salida theater stalwart Greg West in the title role. No graphic images\, but plenty of graphic language. For ages 17 and up. \nTwo performances only!\nThis is one of 7 plays offered during the Salida Theater Festival.

SUMMARY:Mountain Octopus
DESCRIPTION:“Mountain Octopus” chronicles a few days in Chance – a town very similar to Salida itself and to the mythical Grover’s Corners of Wilder’s OUR TOWN. A town where people live a quiet life\, enjoying each other’s company\, looking forward to tomorrow with few expectations. A town that accepts the inevitable pains of life as well as the hoped-for joy. A town that takes everyone’s problems seriously\, but with a grain of salt. This is a new play written by Beth Kander that was commissioned by Creede Repertory Theater and produced during their 2023 season. Ms. Kander catches the essence of small-town life and gives each player an appropriate answer to their “what do I do now” questions. Thornton Wilder would approve of this script and so will you. Directed by Devon Jencks Kasper.

SUMMARY:Brighton Beach Memoirs
DESCRIPTION:Here is part one of Neil Simon’s autobiographical trilogy: a portrait of the writer as a young teen in 1937 living with his family in a crowded\, lower middle-class Brooklyn walk-up. Eugene Jerome\, standing in for the author\, is the narrator and central character. Dreaming of baseball and girls\, Eugene must cope with the mundane existence of his family life in Brooklyn: formidable mother\, overworked father\, and his worldly older brother Stanley. Throw into the mix his widowed Aunt Blanche\, her two young (but rapidly aging) daughters and you have a recipe for hilarity\, served up Simon-style. This bittersweet memoir evocatively captures the life of a struggling Jewish household where\, as his father states “if you didn’t have a problem\, you wouldn’t be living here.” Directed by Gloria Fant. A Sventastik production. For ages 13 and older. \nTickets: Adults – $20\nSeniors – $15

DESCRIPTION:In 1989\, a twenty-one-year-old American college dropout moves to Belfast\, hoping that the Troubles in Northern Ireland will take care of her own.

SUMMARY:Brighton Beach Memoirs
DESCRIPTION:Here is part one of Neil Simon’s autobiographical trilogy: a portrait of the writer as a young teen in 1937 living with his family in a crowded\, lower middle-class Brooklyn walk-up. Eugene Jerome\, standing in for the author\, is the narrator and central character. Dreaming of baseball and girls\, Eugene must cope with the mundane existence of his family life in Brooklyn: formidable mother\, overworked father\, and his worldly older brother Stanley. Throw into the mix his widowed Aunt Blanche\, her two young (but rapidly aging) daughters and you have a recipe for hilarity\, served up Simon-style. This bittersweet memoir evocatively captures the life of a struggling Jewish household where\, as his father states “if you didn’t have a problem\, you wouldn’t be living here.” Directed by Gloria Fant. A Sventastik production. For ages 13 and older. \nTickets: Adults – $20\nSeniors – $15
