Hi Everyone.
It’s Caitlin Bargenquast over at the Well Arts office. Some members of the community already know me as the assistant director of our last production The Best is Yet to Come, and to others I’m a fresh Well Arts face.
As we continue to serve our mission of exploring, developing and practicing creativity as a means to wellness, I have been honored to be a part of the board envisioning Well Arts’ next phases of growth, and expansion in the community.
I’ve been busy, as of late, working with the wealth of creative history Well Arts has compiled during our ten-year presence in the community. I am wading through archives, catching up on all that I haven’t read, and am working towards assembling a “Best of…” Well Arts production, as well as supporting our ongoing workshops with a library of work examples.
Putting these to immediate good use, I’m very excited to be facilitating this month’s Actors {lab style} Workshop:
Text in the Body
Well Arts Institute scripts are generated from a place of intimate dialogue with the mind/ body experience of illness and wellness; this offers us a powerful opportunity as performers to access the words through our bodies in order to embody and enliven the writer’s unique story for our audiences.
In this lab-style class the actor will work with a piece of archived WAI text. We will explore a physical warm up, locating the text in the body, and sketching out a dynamic physical and vocal vocabulary for our characters.
These workshops are held free of charge, and are open to the community. Please wear comfortable clothing and bring water.
The workshop will take place:
11 AM to 1 PM on Saturday November 20th
at
Augustana Lutheran Church
(upstairs)
2710 NE 14th St
Portland, OR 97212
PLEASE RSVP your attendance to Caitlin@wellarts.org
Thank you and Be Well!
Bright Blessings,
Caitlin
