Community Outreach
Professional Artist Training
Providing Innovative Professional Training Opportunities for the community which were either previously limited or not accessible to local theatre artists. In 2009/20010, ATW continues its work to offer unique artist training to professional actors in the region via the fall Actors Lab and the winter Master class.
ATW Master Class
Master class registration fee: $240 CDN, registration limit is 16 actors, auditors are $20 per evening. (2010 Master class is currently 50% full!)
Actors register (either with a scene partner or requesting a scene partner) and will be assigned scenes 1 month before the intensive, and are asked to prepare the scene to performance level for the start of the intensive. Each pair of Actors will have three opportunities to present the scene to Carol and the rest of the class over the course of the 6-day intensive. Each time actors work with Carol she will give them direction and suggestions to further develop the scene by the next time it is presented to the class. Students learn as much from watching their peers at work over these six days as they do in presenting, and rehearsing their own scones.
