Janet Rodgers Teaches Richmond Shakespeare's February Master Class!

I am unbelievably thrilled to announce that one of my mentors and heroes, Theatre VCU's amazing Voice and Speech teacher Janet Rodgers, is teaching February's Master Class at Richmond Shakespeare.

February Master Class:
Harnessing Your Actor’s Energy
With Janet Rodgers of Theatre VCU
February 13, 2007 7:00-9:30 PM
Second Presbyterian Church (5 N. 5th Street)

Come learn techniques to unlock your energy as an actor and part of an ensemble. Instructor Janet Rodgers introduces the first, second, and third Circles of Energy, as developed by world-renowned Stage Voice teacher Patsy Rodenburg. We will also learn a system of actor training, “Oxy Rhythm Exercises,” that expands the connections between mind, breath, and body while developing core strength.

Janet Rodgers is Head of Performance, Voice and Speech for VCU’s renowned Theatre department. A celebrated career of teaching and performing has brought her to Scotland, England, Romania, and Switzerland, and she has served as President and a Board Member of VASTA, the Voice and Speech Teacher’s Association. Her book, The Complete Voice and Speech Workout Book and CD was published four years ago by Applause Books.

Master Class participants should wear comfortable exercise clothing, bring water bottles, and be prepared to move! The Master Class costs $10 at the door.
