Kumu Kahua offers classes (May08)

Honolulu, HI: Have you ever wanted to develop the skills that every actor should have? Kumu Kahua Theatre will be offering theatre classes for adults in body and voice for the actor.

BODY AND VOICE CLASS: This course will include vocal exercises and methods from many teachers, including Kristin Linklater and Edith Skinner. Most of the vocal development work will center around the teachings of Robert Perillo, a well-known vocal coach in New York who teaches at the Stella Adler Studio. The weekly classes will include physical warm-ups, breathing, and articulation exercises. We will apply what we learn about voice to Shakespearean monologues. For the first class, students should bring a beach towel and hand mirror, and memorize the prologue from Romeo and Juliet: “Two households both alike in dignity...” (Check the Kumu Kahua website for the text.) Schedule: 6 sessions, Saturdays, 11am to 2pm, June 7th to July 12th. $100.
Instructor: BETTY BURDICK holds an M.F.A. in Directing from UH M?noa and teaches theatre at Leeward Community College and Hawai‘i Pacific University. She has over thirty years of acting experience in Seattle, Minneapolis/St. Paul, New York, and Honolulu. While acting on the mainland, Betty coached professional actors and held seminars in Character Movement for the Actor. Local acting credits include To Kill a Mockingbird, Deathtrap, Wit,and A Little Night Music for MVT, and Boston Marriage for TAG, and Much Ado About Nothing for the Hawai‘i Shakespeare Festival. Her directing credits include King Kal?kaua’s Poker Game at KKT, as well as work at UH M?noa, MVT, and HTY.
