Kissing on stage can be challenging to approach. There are very few jobs where you go to work and are asked to kiss your co-worker. So lets talk about kissing. In this workshop we will explore best practices for approaching kissing in rehearsal and performance. Creating kissing choreography that meets the characters, stories, and actors needs. Techniques for clarifying and facilitating kissing choreography. Alternative options to kissing. Masking techniques for kissing. Please note that there will be no lip to lip kissing in this workshop.
The workshop will be 4 hours.
Teaching artist Lazaro Arvizu will discuss and display steatite stonework of the Gabrielino/Tongva people during a lesson on Native California lifeways. He will then walk you through the steps of carving and decorating a soapstone amulet that you can wear home. All materials will be provided.
Found throughout the region of Southern California, soapstone (also known as steatite or soaprock) is a softer rock that has been used as a medium for carving in many cultures for thousands of years.
Join us for a free panel discussion and collaborative art workshop by The Chapter House. The Chapter House—an Indigenous arts and community organization based on Tovangaar—will discuss how they are building an Indigenous community arts organization that seeks to reframe Indigeneity, allyship, and fine arts in the 21st century. As they listen, we invite participants to bead, draw, or paint their creativity onto 5”x5” fabric squares that we will later connect into a single community art piece to display at The Chapter House.
Join us for an educational presentation and discussion with Craig Torres in which attendees will examine their relationship to the natural environment.
