So you’ve got the part…now what? Or maybe you were lucky enough to get the script to prep for the audition…what are some ways you, the actor, can make the most out of the blueprint so your character is free to play? What clues does the script already give you? Where are the gems? Where can you fill in the gaps? How do you best serve the script and let the script serve you?
A resilient actor does their homework and is secure enough to trust letting it evolve at the audition, in rehearsals, or during performance. Come delve into the details of one character in Kevin Loring’s Governor General Award Winning Play Where the Blood Mixes. This workshop offers effective techniques to create a dynamic character by leaning into the playwrights’ instincts.
---------------------
The title of the play Where The Blood Mixes comes from the N’lakap’mux place name Kumsheen, the location of the town now named Lytton. Here is where the Fraser and Thompson Rivers meet. ‘The place inside the heart where the blood mixes’ is a more direct translation*. Adele is grateful for Kevin’s permission to use his text for the workshop. She hopes that the love of his hometown and his people (captured so poignantly in words) will burrow into your heart too, as it did for her.
Opportunities to purchase the play and to contribute to ongoing efforts to support Lytton will be provided at the workshop.
