many
short plays, and we are going to work on quite a few of them—and monologues by other writers too—in Clarksdale, Mississippi in just about a month.Clarksdale was Williams' childhood home, and provided locations and characters for many of his greatest plays. I'm super excited to offer this week-long residential workshop for actors and teachers August 14-20 in this unique and historic area.Here's what we'll do:a daily monologue and audition technique class
in which you can work on monologues by Williams (I can advise great parts for you!) and other writersa local tour of sites in Williams' plays,
including the Tennessee Williams Rectory Museum ,
and lots of biographical info about Williamsaccent coaching

The actor training will happen simultaneously with a Monologue Teacher Training for acting teachers. Teachers will sit in on the actors' monologue classes, then have teacher training sessions in the afternoons. Teachers can also work on and perform monologues, while learning how to teach my monologue techniques.Yoga
| There will be a morning yoga option with teachers from Delta Yoga Collective for those who would like it, for a modest additional fee.My goals for this training are that all finish with great monologues, a reliable technique, a deep/deeper love of Williams' writing, and lots of info, energy and inspiration for fall auditions, classes and projects!Travel days are August 13 and 21; Tuition is $595 which does not include room/board or travel.
