SATURDAY FREE WORKSHOPS
ACTING FOR OPERA -
Sat October 9 at 1:30pm EDT
Does operatic acting mean standing in one place while singing? Could it also involve overacting because someone is singing in a foreign language? Does it suggest an acting technique that is somehow different from acting in the spoken theater?
The iconic Constantin Stanislavsky believed Opera singers should "combine the art of living a role with its musical form and the technique of singing."
The purpose of this workshop is to present an introduction to the foundation of the singing actor's craft.
Learn to answer the Who, What, Where, When, and Why of your character, your understanding of the text, and how these answers propel your character's actions and reactions.
Our free workshops are supported in part by a generous grant from The New Jersey Council Of The Arts.
An Introduction to Script Analysis -
Sat. October 16 at 1:30pm
This workshop is a specialized script analysis class in conjunction with building a character from the text.
We will analyze the structure and related elements of the text and explore the various choices that the actor might select when playing the scene in performance.
Every actor should become a detective and look for clues that lie in the script, buried in the author's text.
Our free workshops are supported in part by a generous grant from The New Jersey Council Of The Arts.

I had a great time working with Stephen Scovasso and SAS PERFORMING ARTS. Stephen has a great way of taking talented performers from different walks of life and at different stages of their careers and building them into a wonderful ensemble. I applaud the work SAS is doing to keep the arts alive virtually and in person. I'm grateful that SAS gave me an opportunity to do more of what I love. I know that Stephen and his team will continue to inspire performers and audiences alike.
