East West offers Summer07 Acting Intensive

Asian Pacific American theatre company East West Players (EWP) is offering its annual 6 week Summer Intensive Workshop from July 9 through August 18. Classes will be held in the Little Tokyo area, Monday through Friday, from 10-4 p.m.

"The Summer Intensive invites actors to stretch‚ the limits of their theatrical experience and talent through physical, mental and vocal technique," explained Tim Dang, EWP's producing artistic director. "Workshops, seminars and lessons focus on exploring various aspects of the theatre process as a means of creative personal expression and as a path to becoming a professional actor."

The session culminates with a "command performance," an offering of works-in-progress developed from the six-week program.
Classes this summer will include: fundamentals of acting, speech, scene study, movement for actors, dance, and musical theatre. A series of informal guest lectures are also offered to give students a better understanding of the industry. Past guests have included Academy Award winner Chris Tashima, actress Amy Hill, actor Arye Gross, television directors Henry Chan and Gary Shimokawa, actor Alec Mapa, actor John Cho and actress Emily Kuroda.

Tuition for the full six weeks is $1500. Full time enrollment is encouraged, although students may sign up for individual classes based upon availability.
East West Players is also offering a creative play class for 8 - 9 year olds and 10-12 year olds. Creative Play is a one week workshop, held at the David Henry Hwang Theatre from August 20-24, Monday through Friday. Session #1 from 9:00 - 10:15 a.m. is for 8 ˆ 9 year olds, fee is $100; Session #2 from 10:30 - 12:30 p.m. is for 10-12 year olds, fee is $150.

"Students will expand their imagination in a nurturing and supportive environment through theatre games, improvisation and story telling," noted EWP's arts education director, Marilyn Tokuda. The older children will also be introduced to script reading and basic audition technique. "The workshops are incredibly empowering, they help build self-confidence and self esteem in a really fun and creative way."
