\"\"<\/p>\n

June 8 – Masks Inside and Out<\/a> with Steve Jarand –\u00a0<\/strong>We all hide behind different versions of ourselves.\u00a0 But if we wear a real mask and play the game of disguise, honest expression turns our self-consciousness into an adventure.\u00a0\u00a0<\/em>In this workshop we\u2019ll\u00a0<\/em>approach the actor\u2019s endeavor\u00a0with detachment and selflessness. Masks and mask exercises will help train feeling<\/strong> rather than thinking, instinct<\/strong> over planning and reacting<\/strong> instead of the on-going\u00a0chore of acting.\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n
