OUTREACH: MASTER CLASSES AND WORKSHOPS

Dorothy offers much more than just a performance. Her outreach to the community is impressive. Many presenters take advantage of her varied background. Tapping into both her theatrical and business background, she provides many varied, participative, and enlightening master classes and workshops for the homeless, inner city youth organizations, battered women’s shelters, hospitals, libraries, community colleges, healthcare/eldercare professionals, and universities. Dorothy is flexible as to audience size and time constraints. Her programs range from one hour up to two days. Here are some examples:

CREATING, DEVELOPING, PRESENTING, AND FINDING AN AUDIENCE FOR A ONE PERSON PLAY
Just as everyone has a novel inside, every performer has a one person play. Getting a one person play from idea to production presents many challenges, but it is definitely achievable. So many highly creative people forget the practical aspects of a creative venture. Not all artists are as commercially minded as Pablo Picasso. For example, I know of a one person playwright who has written almost one hundred plays but very few have ever seen the faces of an audience. I will utilize and reference my strategy in writing, promoting, and finding audiences with my one person play and demonstrate clearly, step by step how it can be done.

CREATING AND PERFORMING MULTIPLE CHARACTERS
It is difficult enough to perform one character well. In the theatre, the ultimate challenge is the One Person Play with multiple characters. If the characters are well written, many faceted, with opportunities for conflict and growth, it is a lot easier to perform them. Most one person plays are autobiographical but not all performers are good playwrights. One of the most prevalent mistakes is focusing on the voice and the accent but forgetting character development. This workshop will help participants focus on the inner life of each character. What is their relationship to themselves, to the audience, to each other, and to the situation they face? Through improv, demonstration, and exercises learn to forge strong and memorable moments for each character and for the audience.

THE POWER OF YOU!
Most people feel in the hearts that they can do more and be more. Yet very few people are aware of – let alone use –
all their amazing potential. We all have enormous potential, hidden talent, and uncovered strengths. How do we bring them out? We need to know how and to find the belief that it can be done. It is challenging to let go of past programming, negativity, fears, and the affects abuse and rejection. We all have dreams, wishes, and fantasies about who we are and how we would like our lives to be. Why live in a fantasy world when you can have more of what you want and wish for right now?.
