Borelians Host Workshops
for
Actors and Costumers
May 30 to June 1
The Actor’s Centre Workshop and Creative Costuming
Featuring Richard Howard and Jennifer Hardie

The Borelians Community Theatre, in partnership with ACT-CO (Association of Community Theatres – Central Ontario), will be hosting two skill building workshops this spring in Port Perry for actors and costume/property designers.

The Actor’s Centre Workshop

The Actor’s Centre Workshop runs Friday evening from 7 to 10 p.m., May 30, all day Saturday (9 a.m. coffee, 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. workshop), May 31and Sunday morning (9 a.m. coffee, 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. workshop), June 1 and will provide local performers with a rare opportunity to work with Richard Howard, a member of the Theatre Ontario Talent Bank, Canadian and American Actor’s Equity and founder of Pull-Chain Theatre in Sault St. Marie. Mr. Howard began his professional career at the Stratford Festival and has acted and directed (more than 500 productions) in England, France, Australia, the United States and Canada, including more than 50 communities in Ontario.
The sessions will introduce the actor, beginner and experienced, to the process of inner work needed to develop a more believable and truthful form of acting. The workshop is interactive and casual with plenty of time for questions and experimentation.

Creative Costuming

On Saturday May 31 (9 a.m. coffee, 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. workshop), Jennifer Hardie will lead a workshop in creative strategies for costume and prop design. Ms. Hardie is part of the design team which recently won an ACT-CO THEA award for costume design for the Borelians’ production of Alice in Wonderland and she excels at creating specialty/ fantasy costumes and props pieces using found and recycled materials, imagination and resourcefulness. Ms. Hardie will offer and demonstrate past successful construction techniques, offer tips and suggestions, and also welcome specific challenges to be discussed with the group.
Since both workshops are expected to sell out quickly and space is limited, register early to avoid disappointment. Registration closes May 8 for the Actor’s Centre Workshop and May 20 for Creative Costuming. Workshop fees for the Actor’s Centre Workshop are $95 (Borelians and ACT-CO members) $125 (non-members) and fees for Creative Costuming are $40 (Borelian and ACT-CO members) $50 (non-members).

Both workshops are being held at the Prince Albert Community Hall. For more information and a registration form, contact 905 985-4914.
