STAY Connected!
This 2-part, in-person series will focus on Acting with Ease, a thorough exploration of performing using improvisation, relaxation, connectivity, and action based tactics.
Take away the "supposed to be" hinders of a performance and leave it open to genuine feelings and exploration that is at the root of "play".

"Portland Civic Theatre Guild members can`t emphasize enough the importance of the Fertile Ground Festival of New Works to our mission. Eleven years ago, PCTG spearheaded the creation of the PCTG New Play Award for local playwrights. PCTG`s commitment to the winners was the promise of a concert reading of their plays and Fertile Ground was the vehicle we used to spread the word. Because we hitched these plays to the Fertile Ground Festival of New Work, each of our winning plays received wide recognition and drew an audience from well beyond PCTG`s usual reach. We consider Fertile Ground to be an essential partner with us as we honor and lift up Portland area playwrights and their work. We look forward to many more years of partnership. Thank you, Fertile Ground!"

Only two spots left!
Self-tape auditions require an actor to be more than just an actor. They also have to be a camera operator, lighting person, computer technician, & editor. There are frequently many requirements casting directors demand that seem complex and time consuming.
This 2-part class will demystify the process and clarify the technical aspects needed. It will also help in prep for an audition where the actor might not have another actor or director present.

THIS SATURDAY!
Get prepared for this year`s annual Unified Shakespeare & Classical Auditions.
This workshop will help you to bring your monologue alive and enjoy more creative freedom in performing classical material. The work will include individualized attention on each actor`s audition, with a focus on finding the connection to (and through) the material while allowing the classical language to enrich the acting process. When relevant, we will explore the cultural context of a piece in order to enhance understanding and more fully engage with the material in the present moment.
This workshop will give you the chance to get coached on one (or more) of your audition pieces so that you can submit an audition you feel great about - and enjoy yourself while doing it!
