Classes will be back for winter and spring, 2010.

TUTA master class topics rotate each season.

MASTER CLASS:  CHEKHOV MONOLOGUES
with Zeljko Djukic, Artistic Director of TUTA

This three-week master class will focus on active scene analysis and study of Chekhov’s monologues. Students will work on individually assigned monologues with a focus on structure and movement. Using TUTA’s approach to devising a unique process for each project or workshop, this class will help you learn the language of theatrical space and discover how an impulse triggers movement, and a movement expresses emotion and tension.

MASTER CLASS:  BODY, SPACE, AND MOVEMENT
with Jacqueline Stone, Company Member of TUTA

This eight-week master class uses TUTA’s unique physical approach to explore the power of your own body on stage in relationship to space. Using both improvisational exercises and simple pieces of text, you will learn the power of rhythm, responsiveness, emotion, and trusting your gut. Each student will have the opportunity to work in both groups and pairs, with scripts and without.

HERE'S WHAT STUDENTS ARE SAYING

“I wanted to get back in touch with Shakespeare, and I won that battle.”

“I think the techniques and exercises we used in class helped me to look at Shakespeare's text in a new way and I appreciate that.”

“It's one of the best classes I've taken in Chicago.”
