UAB Workshop

On February 10 & 12, the advanced theater classes were blessed to receive a visit from Dennis McLernon, one of the drama professors from UAB. Dennis focused primarily on how to drop the social mask that we wear to respond to each other in a truthful and earnest way. Then on Thursday he focused on how to create group dynamic and truth through simple rhythms. Below are several pictures from his time with our classes and the great time we had.

BSC Workshop

On Friday January 30, Helena Theater students had the privilege of working with Birmingham-Southern’s Theatre Department Head Alan Litsey. In Theater I he worked with students to introduce them to the struggle of the chorus and to the eternal questions of the Greeks. In Theater II/III he taught a workshop connecting the practices and beliefs of the great acting coach Stanislavski to the more recent Viola Spolin. Below are several pictures from the great time the students had.
