VGT Spring Tune-ups
VGT Professional Training Center presents its Spring Workshop Series coming in June to the Biograph Theater.
It is audition season again, and Victory Gardens has assembled a great team to get your mind and body in shape. This June, we are presenting a series of workshops to fine tune your classical and contemporary monologues, taught by Chicago Shakespeare stalwart and renowned Shakespeare instructor Larry Yando, and Court Theatre casting director Cree Rankin respectively, and to give you a fresh approach to acting through the physical involvement of Viewpoints, taught by Julieanne Ehre. We will be offering two sessions: at the beginning and the end of the month, so reserve your space, and get yourself ready for the season!
Viewpoints with Julieanne Ehre
This three day intensive is for those who are new to Viewpoints, or who would like to continue to train in this technique. Through a combination of Viewpoints and Composition work, participants are introduced to a highly physical approach to creating character, building ensemble and developing original theatrical pieces.
