SUMMARY:Workshop: Directing and Acting for Writers\, Actors\, and Directors
 : Some Basics
DESCRIPTION:**The workshop is full now. Thanks\, everyone\, for your intere
 st.**\n\nWednesdays\, 4–6pm • February 7\, 14\, 21\, 28\n\nTheater is\
 , most often\, a highly collaborative art. It is beneficial for actors to 
 have experience directing\, for directors to have experience acting\, and 
 for playwrights to have experience with everything—this makes for a well
 -rounded theater artist that can better understand where their co-theater-
 makers are coming from.\n\nJoin seasoned theater artist Jan Maher and The 
 LAVA Center for a four-week workshop for writers\, actors\, and directors 
 will explore the basics of different aspects of theater artistry. This wor
 kshop will\, through practice\, offer you some experience in other roles i
 n theater.\n\nClick here for more details.\n\nThe workshop leader:\nJan Ma
 her has been involved in theater work for whoa! A very long time! (Coming 
 up on 60 years\, or even longer if you count my performance in a Dutch Dan
 ce in kindergarten\, longer still if you count my solo improvisation as a 
 toddler bewailing being left behind when I was deemed “not old enough”
  to make a family trip to Chicago. But seriously\, I’ve done a lot of di
 fferent sorts of things over these many decades including writing plays\, 
 directing plays (my own and others’)\, acting in plays (my own and other
 s’)\, teaching playwrighting\, teaching acting\, teaching acting for tea
 chers\, and assisting my mentor Joseph Chaikin in a master workshop for di
 rectors.\n\nMy influences in theater\, aside from Joe\, are The Open Theat
 er\, Peter Brooks\, Vaclav Havel\, Tom Stoppard\, Sophocles\, Arthur Mille
 r\, Suzan-Lori Parks\, and Maria Irene Fornes.\n\nI’m looking forward to
  working with a small\, dedicated group of theater artists who would like 
 to learn more in a mutually supportive environment.
