Where do actors get their understanding of a particular character and how does this impact their vocal and physical choices for given roles?

Through large and small groups Ms. Rachele and McKenzie will guide the exploration of how actors use the text to find facts and clues to start building a role based on identifying characteristics. We hope to build upon students understanding of the characters with an emphasis on the choices that we actors have to make when given specific roles in productions.

Guest artist McKenzie Snellgrove is junior at Centre College majoring in English and Theatre. She is a Jane of all trades theatrically…acting on stage, building and designing sets, Propmaster, and making puppets. Her credits include Dakota in “The Inseparables”, Jenny Hill in “Big Fish”, Propmaster and designer for “Hamlet”, Set Designer for “Eurydice” and “The Little Mermaid”. When not on stage or in the theatre, she can be found writing, drinking coffee, or reading old books. She is excited to be participating in this workshop.
