Workshop with Alejandro!
We will look at various tools directors use to discover how a story might be told, through the dissection of a selection of scenes from the the Romeo and Juliet adaptation West Side Story (1961). This will be followed by a discussion over lunch, and then an afternoon session to explore those tools more experientially through staging portions of scenes from Shakespeare plays.
Saturday, August 22
10:30-12:00 Part 1, West Side Story
12:00-1:00 lunch together at the Nest
1:00-4:00 Part 2, Your Directing Story

The Tempest
Directed by Caryl Farkas
Rehearsals will begin online at the end of March with close-reading (one night for each act) and Zoom specials with actors which will be tailored to fit the schedules of all involved. As soon as casts are figured out we will survey everyone to find a time that works for all.
In-person rehearsals would begin June 2, with 3 rehearsals per week - we will schedule one “All-called” per week Thursday evenings at UU, and two rehearsals designed for particular cast members at specific times at the Nest so in practice you wouldn’t be called 3 times a week.
Performances will be August 27 - 30, September 3-6, 6:30 p.m. at UU Santa Fe)
