4b. Personations
with Peter Pacey
Saturday June 8th, 9:00 am to 10:30 am (English)
*This workshop is now FULL and no longer available
This workshop will outline a process of creating a first-person interpretation program or “personation” from page to stage, and all the intermediary steps between beginning with archival research, progressing through script and character development to such issues as costuming, mannerism and performance modus operendi. The session will be participatory and interactive. You may already have a character in mind or get inspired during the workshop through this process. The presentation will culminate with a performance as Max Aitken, Lord Beaverbrook who was an eye-witness to the history and a key personage in 20th century New Brunswick, Canada and Great Britain.
Participants: all levels.
