The Art of Transformation is a master workshop that provides a unique opportunity to work with Internationally-acclaimed actor and director, Fulbright educator and best-selling author, Ronald Rand. The workshop is designed for those with or without theatre background, and will be held Monday, August 3, 6:00 - 8:00 p.m. at the River Arts Center in Morrisville.
Participants will learn how to overcome the “inner critic”, nerves and self-consciousness while discovering ways to unleash creativity and authenticity. Through the use of physical exercises and tools from Russian Master Teacher Constantin Stanislavsky's Method of Physical Actions, Rand leads participants towards simplicity, relaxation, and truth – revealing your authentic voice. Fee $35, Pre-registration required.
