• How does a director begin the process before, during, and after casting?
• How can one lead actors to discover their strengths?
• How does one maintain a director's vision as director/actor?
• What role do technical crew play in shaping a production?

These questions- and many more- will be explored in this weekend workshop. Participants will observe each other's work and participate in scenes to help both actors and directors discover their best working methods.

This workshop is aimed at both directors and actors.  Participants will focus on staging scenes from The Dark Lady script with director Rod Carley.

Rod Carley has impacted the Ontario theatre scene for the last thirty-five years. He has directed/produced 150 stage productions to date, both nationally and internationally. He has served as Founding Artistic Director and Artistic Director at several institutions and is a highly sought-after adjudicator.
