Bringing Yourself to Your Characters with Liz Brammer
When you are comfortable being yourself on stage you can bring your truth to a character instead of trying to hide behind it. Elizabeth Brammer (Coldtown, Gnap! and Hideout performer) will show you how to shed the fears that keep your improv in self-protective mode, breaking through to honest fun. Free yourself from self-criticism in order to be of service to your character, scene partner, scene and show.

Been looking forward to this one. See you there.

Intro to Dialects (British & Cockney) with Allison Asher
Ever wonder why you start out a scene sounding Cockney but end up as Scot? Have you found yourself completely tongue-tied in a game of “More British?” Allison Asher (Hideout performer and MFA in Acting) will guide you through the basics of breaking down a dialect, piece by piece and let you practice your new-found skills in a judgement-free zone. Before you know it, you too will be jumping into foreign dialect scenes and introducing exotic characters.

Too many awesome things to choose among.

Oh HEY!!! I just checked Hideout Theatre's Website and noticed that my elective is up there too!

Pretty as a Picture with Sarah Marie Curry
Wednesday, February 8, 7:00-9:00pm

As improvisors we have the rare gift of being director, actor and writer, but so often our staging falls short in the balance. We tend to stand three feet apart, create flat lines, block each others bodies, cluster, trap each other in large cast scenes, and stand, sit and play in the same ways! In this workshop Sarah Marie Curry (Girls Girls Girls, Improv for Evil) will teach the basic elements of staging, balance, position in relation, composition and technique to make you a more dynamic and inspired performer.

Be Deliberate and Be the Character with Justin Davis
Stop thinking like yourself and start thinking and acting like the characters you portray. In this workshop Justin Davis (Institution instructor and Hideout performer) will help your characters find their own voices and show you that it’s okay, even great, to let go of worries about characters saying the “wrong thing” in a show. Make your thoughts not your own and don’t be afraid to stick to them. Eventually you stop thinking like your characters and simply start being them.

Caeriel · Post by **Caeriel** » January 26th, 2012, 12:03 am

As a new regular of the electives, I can vouch that they rock. And if you're a Hideout student they're free, so free class + fun + awesome people=win.

You will have the most delightful case of multiple personality disorder when this elective is over.

Bump bump bump! Tonight, tonight!

We have handouts. They are awesome, and I'm so excited to teach this elective! Don't worry if you have no (or some) skill in dialects. All are welcomed.

Thanks to all that came out for the Dialect elective! Y'all were super fun, I learned a lot, you worked hard! I'm going to get Andy some mp3 files of the Signature Sounds sentences he can send them to you. Oak Road is zoned for mob-ILE homes only, y'all!

...and those that missed it: cry. There were EPIC handouts.
