NCSF will again offer a summer training/performing experience for young people, aged 8 to 18. For summer 2010, the younger ACTors will be cast in, rehearse and perform a 30-minute version of The Tempest, and the older ACTors will rehearse and perform a 30-minute version of Twelfth Night. For both groups, the emphasis will be on creating a performance experience that blows off the cobwebs and brings Shakespeare's plays into the 21st century.
Throughout the two weeks, ACTors will also work intensively with professional theatre artists in performance Master Classes, exploring topics such as stage combat, voice and text work, clowning, mask, music and dance. These Master Classes will be offered as an enhancement to the training and skills that participants will be developing during their rehearsal work.
The final Friday, July 30, will feature an evening presentation of the ACTors' performance work for family and invited guests. Participants will also receive complementary tickets to the MainStage production of The Tempest, as well as an invitation to an exclusive ACT behind-the-scenes event.
Prospective ACTors are required to apply for placement in the program. A completed application and payment in full is required by June 18, 2010. Enrollment space is limited, so early applications are encouraged. Earlybird discounts, limited FestForAll scholarships and Work Study options will be available. Please see the application form for more details.
Contact The Festival Outreach Artistic Associate at ncsf@ncshakes.org or 841-2273, ext.223 for further information about the program.

genius to bring out the best in each ACTor. |
