WELCOME FROM THE DIRECTOR

WELCOME to a new season at the Foote Theatre School, where we have a class for you no matter your age, interest, or level of experience!

WHAT’S NEW? • Playwriting for teens! (On page 18).

Ellen Chorley, local playwright, producer and performer, will help you find your dramatic voice. No experience necessary.

• Adult Performance Showcase – a full-year intensive course with admission by audition only. See page 8 for more information.

• We have changed the structure of our Adult Fundamentals of Acting course to accommodate your busy schedules. While the course remains a two-term class, you can now take Part 1 and Part 2 anytime! We will be offering a Part 1 and a Part 2 in every term beginning in the Winter of 2018. So you can take Part 1 this fall and then Part 2 in the Winter, or take Part 2 in the Spring. Take Part 1 in the Winter and Part 2 in the Summer – the combination is up to you. Just be sure to take both parts, in order, before moving on to our more advanced courses. See pages 6–7 for specifics.

• Performance Lab – we are pleased to partner with Azimuth Theatre in bringing a weekly drop-in class for artists of all persuasions. See page 5 for more information.

PERFORMANCE LABThe Citadel Theatre and Foote Theatre School partner with Azimuth Theatre

to create opportunities for artists of all levels – anyone committed to technique, discipline, curiosity, and play.

The Performance Lab is a professional ongoing performance training laboratory for artists who are interested in a long-term, exploratory, physical practice to enhance, supplement, and complement their performative and creative capacities. The drop-in sessions will run weekly, with a blend of methodologies led primarily by Dave Horak and Amber Borotsik.

Actors, directors, creators, playwrights, dancers, performance artists, teachers, and active community members are all welcome. Although the sessions are set at a professional training level, the only prerequisite for the class is a commitment to the rigours of the work.

Sundays, 11 a.m. – 12:30 p.m, Sept 17 – Aug 26 (no classes Dec 17, 24, 31). Fees are pay-what-you-will ($5 – $10 recommendation.) For more information, contact Azimuth Theatre Co-Artistic Producers, Vanessa Sabourin ([email protected]) or Kristi Hansen ([email protected]).

I Can Pretend! teaches children with autism how to play with peers and form relationships, something that children with ASD typically struggle with. Through drama, younger children learn imaginative play skills and older children hone social skills. It is a program that is based on research supporting how children with autism learn.

Created by a seasoned drama educator and parent of a child on the autism spectrum, and first piloted at Manitoba Theatre for Young People as part of a graduate study, our program uses best practice teaching for children with autism including picture schedules, familiar routines, repetition and reward.

Children currently enrolled in an intensive intervention program such as ABA, RDI or DIR/Floortime will benefit most from this program.

LEVEL 1: INTRO TO IMPROVISATIONNo experience necessary. 4 weeks.

Level 1 is a foundations workshop on the concepts of improvisation, with a focus on agreement and confidence-building. In this class, you will be challenged to start obeying your impulse, and to work collaboratively with others. This is a great way to challenge yourself and break out of your comfort zone!

You will have the opportunity to perform for 15 minutes in the Workshop Performance Series. Performance is encouraged, but not mandatory.

LEVEL 2C: SCENEWORK: FOCUS ON CHARACTERYou must have permission from your Level 1 instructor to register. Level 2 is split into two classes: 2C & 2W. They can be completed in any order, but both classes must be completed to advance to Level 3. 4 weeks.

This workshop combines all we’ve worked on in Level I, with a focus on improvised scenework and character development. You will develop a variety of tools to create complex improvised characters. By the end of this class, you should be able to confidently perform the scariest scene of all: the open scene!


LEVEL 2W: SCENEWORK: THE WORLD OF THE SCENEYou must have permission from your Level 1 instructor to register. Level 2 is split into two classes: 2C & 2W. They can be completed in any order, but both classes must be completed to advance to Level 3. 4 weeks.

This workshop combines all we’ve worked on in Level I, with a focus on improvised scenework and environment. In your scenes, you will explore your environment in more depth, using narration, object work, soundscape and more. By the end of this class, you should be able to confidently perform the scariest scene of all: the open scene!


LEVEL 3: ADVANCED SHORTFORMYou must have permission from your Level 2C & 2W instructors to register. 4 weeks.

This workshop expands the definition of what scenework is, by exploring different structures such as monologues, split scenes, narration and edits. Students should be able to set up and play Theatresports games by the end of this class.


LEVEL 4N: INTRODUCTION TO NARRATIVE LONGFORMYou must have permission from your Level 3 instructor to register. You may register for 4N or 4T in any order. 8 weeks.

An exploration of long format improvisational structures that are both linear and non-linear narratives, such as directed long forms and Tap Outs. You will discuss advanced storytelling concepts, as well as continue to develop editing techniques.

You will have the opportunity to perform 30-minute pieces, and receive specific notes on your performance.

LEVEL 4T: INTRODUCTION TO THEMATIC LONGFORMYou must have permission from your Level 3 instructor to register. You may register for 4N or 4T in any order. 8 weeks.

Level 4T is an exploration of The Structured Harold and Harold-derived thematic long format Improvisation. You will work on different openings, and developing a group mind mentality with your ensemble.


IMPROVISING MUSICALSYou must have completed Level 3 or 4 to register.

Our students asked for it, and here it is! A special course focused on musical scenes. You will explore song structure, musicality, scene work, and putting together an improvised musical.


IMPROVISATION DIAGNOSTICYou must have completed Level 3 or 4 to register.

Sometimes when developing the skills of improvisation we reach a plateau. This plateau is a time to reflect on everything you have learned and prepare yourself for the ascent to the next basecamp on the mountain of improvisational development! This diagnostic class will focus on identifying personal strengths and strengthening weaknesses you may have in your improvisational skill set. You will receive more individual feedback and challenges throughout this level.

SPECIALTY SERIESYou must have completed Level 3 or 4 to register.

The Specialty Series is a rare opportunity to work with four different instructors, each of them teaching you the secrets of their own Improvisation super-power. Each class will be spent with a different instructor; it’s like the Fantastic Four of Improvisation!
