'Voicing and Embodying Archetypes of Myths and Legends'
One week workshop, July 23-30, 2016 on the campus of Virginia Commonwealth University
Based on Acting and Singing with Archetypes (Rodgers and Armstrong, Limelight Editions), this innovative work uses mythical and legendary journeys as the basis for opening doors to unexplored vocal, physical and imaginative expression. In addition to the journeys, participants will apply the discoveries to text and explore ways to integrate the work in the classroom.
Participants will receive 40 hours of training with six certified university teachers.
Certification in the work is available.

ATHE Directing Program Pre-Conference 2016
Wednesday, August 10 (1pm – 6pm) & Thursday, August 11 (9am – 12pm)
Palmer House Hilton, Chicago
The Directing Program of the Association for Theatre in Higher Education invites proposals to be considered as part of Pre-Conference events organized around the theme “Directors’ Work: Directing Alternatives to Psychological Realism.”
As educators, scholars, and artists, we work in a variety of formats, so we invite proposals for a variety of presentation formats, including (but not limited to) presentations, workshops, round-table discussions, panels, or performances.
Following significant discussion and interest at the 2015 ATHE conference, the theme “Directors’ Work: Directing Alternatives to Psychological Realism” emerged. This Pre-Conference seeks to offer a venue for participants to share, question, and engage with strategies, methods, issues, and questions surrounding the work a director undertakes when approaching texts and productions that move beyond traditional psychological realism. These styles – whether they be in regard to Brecht, Beckett, devising, and others aesthetic modes – often require the director to approach a text differently, and this Pre-Conference seeks to explore those approaches.
