Seeing Yourself In The Classics: A Shakespeare monologue workshop for actors of marginalized communities

This two-part, hands-on monologue workshop is designed specifically for those from marginalized communities and dedicated to expansive discovery and interpretation within the text.

Instructors will work with you to choose a monologue which resonates with you, find textual support for your experiences within the character, and start preparing the piece to be audition-ready. This workshop includes text and rhythm work, character exploration, and hands-on direction and notes from Speculative Drama’s Creative and Artistic Directors.

Now is the perfect time to start preparing for the Unified Shakespeare & Classical Auditions - so head to the link in our bio to register today!

New Workshop Alert!

We are incredibly excited to bring you this valuable workshop with performance psychology consultant and mental performance coach Julia Thornton.

In recent research, 80% of professional actors and over half of professional musicians report performance anxiety to be a challenge in their careers, yet our learned methods to cope with it are limited. If this is something you struggle with you are not alone.

This class will go beyond the typical advice of “practicing more” and “taking a deep breath” and dive into strategies drawn from cognitive psychology and mindfulness-acceptance based approaches. All levels and all experiences are welcome whether you suffer from extreme performance anxiety or just the occasional jitters.

By learning effective strategies to release yourself from the grips of performance anxiety you can perform better, feel better, and lean into the joy of your craft.

As always, this PATA-hosted workshop is sliding scale ($5-35).

*NEW WORKSHOP ALERT!*
Join @tara_velarde_music for our Basic Music Theory for Singers class series!

Basic Music Theory for Singers fills the needs of so many of us vocalists. So often we feel lost when thrown into a rehearsal or performance environment that relies on sheet music. Because our instrument has no frets, valves, or keys, one can be competent in their vocal abilities, while also not being proficient in music notation.

This class supplements that musical ability with musical literacy. Basic Music Theory for Singers equips you with the fundamental concepts of musical notation, in order to feel confident and competent in any room. Students will complete this course with the tools needed for a vocalist, specifically, to thrive in any musical setting where sheet music and music theory are involved.

As always, this PATA class series is sliding scale, starting at just $20 for all four classes! See registration page for full details and pricing.
