SUMMARY:You're Never Too Old to Play : Free Acting Workshop for Actors and Non Actors Ages 40+
DESCRIPTION:You’re Never Too Old to Play Current  Cast ..Click to enlarge \nYOU'RE NEVER TOO OLD TO PLAY started as an acting workshop 5 years ago for seniors of 65 and older. It was open to actors and non-actors alike. We now wantto expand the group and invite new participants. \nIn the past five years we have made three pieces\, two of which we performed at\nthe Glade\, the small theatre on Little Island. The third one\, based on the theme of aging and entitled ABOVE GROUND (Not Exactly a Comedy)\, we performed in the Community Room of Westbeth\, where it was met with great enthusiasm by the audience. \nTo explore intergenerational dynamics\, and to create a new piece\, we are opening the group up to ages 40-60 years\, along with some new seniors as well.  \n\n\nNANCY GABOR and PAUL BINNERTS\, directors/acting teachers of YOU’RE NEVER\nTOO OLD TO PLAY\, are inviting interested people to join the group for a project based on a theme yet to be defined. The theme will appeal to both participating generations. \nThe work will focus on physical and vocal exercises\, and improvisations\nemphasizing play and ensemble (Nancy's Core Technique)\, and crafting a story (Paul's Acting in Real Time). Central in this work is the presence of the actor.\nWe will conduct a workshop from October to Christmas\, for new members\, to get to know the group and to integrate into it. Commitment is necessary. After New Year 2025\, we plan to start on the new project. \nThe group meets once a week\, on Thursdays\, from 11 AM to 2 PM. \nfor more information and an interview please contact:gaborworks@gmail.com \nYou’re Never Too Old To Have Fun!
