This is to confirm that you are registering for Mini-Intensive A with David Smukler, taking place the weekend of January 20-21, running 10:00am - 5:00pm each day, with a 1-hour break for lunch at 1:00pm. To register, please scroll down to the VERY bottom of this page and click on the "+" sign at the end of the workshop fee that applies to you. Once you've completed this online registration, a confirmation email will be sent to you that includes the following details:
1. All classes take place at the PAL Studio Theatre in Coal Harbour, 581 Cardero Street, 8th Floor. The studio will be open at 9:30am for individual warm-up. Sessions will begin at 10:00am sharp! PAL is easily accessible by transit. For those with cars, there is a reasonably-priced parking lot on the SW corner of Georgia and Cardero, next to the White Spot restaurant.
2. Workshop prep: please have 10-20 lines of text memorized for use during exercises. David's specialty is classical text, so anything from Shakespeare's canon (including sonnets) would be fine; however, if you're working on a contemporary piece, by all means, bring that in. Some people like to have two pieces prepared in order to challenge themselves in different ways (and you have a ready alternative if someone else brings in the same piece!)
3. Wear loose, comfortable clothing. Layers are best, as the studio temperature is sometimes unpredictable. Bring lots of water; the voice works much better when hydrated. You may wish to bring a yoga mat or towel, as there can be a lot of lying on the floor!
4. There is a green room with fridge and microwave if you wish to bring your lunch. Otherwise, there are places to grab food in the area.
If you have interested friends or colleagues unable to take an entire workshop, they may be able to drop-in for $80 per evening class January 22-26. Please review our drop-in policy.
CANCELLATION POLICY: Full fee will be returned with a minimum 7 days notice by email or phone call before first class. If less than 7 days notice of cancellation, fee less $50 deposit will be returned. If there's a waiting list, and someone takes your place, full fee will be returned.
