Vero Voce will now be offering
an intensive Writer's Workshop for new writers of the stage and screen, as well as a chance for experienced writers to bring
in their current projects to be reviewed and studied with a fresh set of eyes. The Workshop will be led by David M.
Rodriguez, resident Theatrical Artistic Director of Vero Voce.
Rodriguez, who has had two of his plays produced in Los Angeles, hopes to give guidance
and instruction to new writers in the Northwestern Suburbs. Members of the workshop will focus on proper story structure,
full character development, and the basic rules of creative writing. Any writers who would like to continue their scripts
into a production level may enter their pieces into Vero Voce's upcoming "New Playwright Festival" in early 2014. More
info can be seen on the auditions page of our website.

Vero Voce's "Imagination Workshop"
is an introduction to the world of theater to younger actors.
Instead of using scripts, students will use their mind and body to convey emotions and scenarios, allowing
the actors to fully grasp the importance of making choices and understanding the specificity of certain situations.
The instructor will help students prepare believably performed
"actions". With each action, students will create environments and scenarios to perform in, all while truthfully maintaining
character and surrounding.
At the
end of the course, the young actors will have learned that acting isn't necessarily about what you say and how you say it,
but about what you feel and convey to an audience.
The class will be led by Vero Voce's David M. Rodriguez. David has been trained in the Imagination
Technique at the famed Stella Adler Academy of Acting in Los Angeles, CA. His training has earned him acclaim both on
stage and on film, awarding him Indie Fest's Best Actor in a Supporting Role for his performance in the film "El Percance
Perfecto".
(No Prerequisite Required)
Maximum 6 students
Each student will have mulitple taped mock "auditions". Students will be emailed a "side" the evening prior to class, which
they will prepare for their mock audition. The first few auditions will be from mainstream films the students may have
seen. Scenes used for audition material later in the class will be completely unfamiliar to the students.
Instruction
will focus on making the strongest decisions possible, based on the information you've been given. Students will be
instructed on proper attire for specific auditions and what is considered to be professionalism in the theater/film community.
