FEST: Theatre Workshops for Seniors

FEST: Theatre Workshops for Seniors
Saturday, February 27, 2010
Fine Arts Building Room 2-43,
University of Alberta Campus
FEST (Festival of Edmonton Seniors Theatre), along with the University of Alberta Drama Department, is offering a new series of theatre workshops for seniors including:

• Comedy Performance for Seniors – 10am – 12Noon
An introduction to improvisation with Amy Shostak, Artistic Director of
Rapid Fire Theatre
Amy will gently lead seniors through introductory theatre sports while they learn techniques of spontaneity and comedy improvisation. Everybody will have the opportunity and option to perform. This workshop will be fun and afterwards you’ll want to sign up for the next one!
• Musical Theatre for Seniors –
12:30 – 2:30pm
Life is a cabaret! Come sing show tunes with Alyson Connolly, director and teacher of drama and musical theatre
In this workshop we will work on a chorus number from a musical.
You will learn the song, the choreography and explore the characters of the musical. You’ll learn the difference between “singing” and “singing in character.”

• Storytelling and Performance for Seniors –
3 – 5pm
Turn your stories into plays with award-winning teacher David Barnet
We all have stories to tell, some from the recent past, others from long ago. Through the use of theatre games and improvisation, David will guide seniors through the process of turning these stories into moments of theatre to be shared with others.

For each workshop, all levels of expertise and ability are welcome including the physically challenged.
Cost: $5/Workshop, Pre-Registration is required
*Space is limited to 20 participants per workshop
Light refreshments provided between workshops
Underground parking at Timms Centre for the Arts
Accessible by Bus and LRT
