These same paper techniques will also be used in making masks. <BR>The study of performance techniques and "Group Puppet Dynamics" will <BR>prepare the group for participation in the 2nd Annual Midsummer Parade: A <BR>Topsy-Turvy Celebration of the Arts in Amherst. The work is specifically <BR>geared for professional puppeteers, actors/theater professionals, visual <BR>artists, as well as teachers of all kinds of arts.

Theatre can be <BR>healing to whatever community we live in or work with: neighborhoods, <BR>schools, churches or businesses. This workshop, with ArtSpot Production's <BR>Kathy Randels, leads participants through a theatrical process that can be <BR>brought back to their home communities. Based on Augusto Boal's "Theatre <BR>of the Oppressed" and Michael Rohd's "Hope is Vital," participants will <BR>work together on theatre exercises that provoke dialogue within our <BR>communities, ultimately leading to healing within those communities. <P>July 29 - August 3 <BR> THE ACTOR & THE MASK with <BR> Dell'Arte Company Co-Artistic Director JOAN SCHIRLE <BR> To play in a mask highlights the necessity of clarity, specificity, and <BR> projection of one's internal spirit. Joan Schirle's approach to mask <BR> performance uses 15 simple concepts by which the actor can approach the <BR> craft of masked or unmasked performance. Through the mystery of the mask as <BR> well as the freedom it offers, the actor can make discoveries about what <BR> the audience sees, about play, about the articulate body, and the enjoyment <BR> of seeing with one's own eyes through the face of another. Technique and <BR> improvisation. <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> <P>August 5 - 10 <BR>MULTIMEDIA & SITE-SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE with <BR>Cypher Collective Artistic Directors AMY BAXT & ALEX HEILNER <BR>In this six-day intensive, participants will question a fundamental basis <BR>of theater, as we throw away the script, and learn to develop performance <BR>ideas based upon our surroundings, and the tools at our disposal. Working <BR>with projected imagery, found sounds, our bodies, the landscape, and our <BR>local history, we will create scenes and narratives that could never have <BR>been imagined with a pen and paper. <P><B><FONT size=+1>Each workshop is $300 with the exception of the Giant Puppet workshop where</FONT></B> <BR><B><FONT size=+1>there is a $100 discount for taking both weeks.
