- STUDIO Lab Productions are enrollment-based educational theatre workshops.
It’s not just a production, its theatre education in an environment that values personal worth as much as production values.
Each Lab Production is a class first, with an original, curated curriculum (Educational Intensive) to meet the needs of the project.
Education, Training, & Production
Educational Intensive
Each Lab Production begins with an Educational Intensive in which select Touchstone Topics™ are explored.
Touchstone Topic™
Serving as the spine of our theatrical process, participants spend the first few weeks of each Intensive in class instruction (theatre education), during which they learn techniques and concepts that serve as keystone markers to their artistic journey.
Production (Applied Education)
After the instruction period, all enrolled participants will audition for and be cast in the production.
Actors can expect:
Guidance in concept application
Actor coaching
Assigned required ACTOR’S HOMEWORK to aid in their artistic development.
Our Touchstone Topic™ is:
Farcical Comedy (with subtopics):
Creating Specificity within a Physical Character
Healthful Vocal Affectation
