Naturally 7 @ Rialto Theater
Tickets
Sep 28 @ 7:30 pm

This seven-man crew has perfected an intriguing a cappella style in a quest to celebrate the voice. Not only do they sing, but they also serve as all backing instruments from drums, bass, guitars, horns, flutes … even down to turntables. Their emergence from beyond R&B and pop taps into various genres from traditional gospel and rock to 17th century baroque. The group rose to prominence when their Paris subway version of Phil Collins’ “In the Air Tonight” went viral on YouTube. Then, Michael Bublé tapped the group as his worldwide touring partner. The rest is history! Tickets are on sale for subscriptions now. Single tickets on sale for Members July 8 at 11:00 a.m. Public on sale July 11 at 11:00 a.m. Call the Box Office at 253.591.5894.

SOLO PERFORMANCE WORKSHOP STARTS MONDAY OCTOBER 7th, 2019 6:30-9:30, EVERY MONDAY UNTIL DECEMBER 2nd.

This workshop is for anyone who stands alone in front of an “audience” and wants to or must tell a story, present an idea, give a speech, act a play, or convey a message.
Your “audience” might be in a theater, a classroom, a workspace or a conference room. You might be presenting to patrons, students, children, co-workers, employees, or managers. You may an actor, dancer, circus artist, musician, or storyteller. This workshop is for ANYONE that needs to stand alone in front of an audience and create whatever is you need to convey!
You are a Solo Performer!

The only requirement is that you bring an IDEA. It can be a prop, a movement, a lesson plan, a speech, a poem, a word, a thought, etc. Michelle Matlock will lead the group through a creative process that she has used to develop her solo work for the past 20 years.

This process includes theater games, acting exercises, movement, exploration, improv, and discussions that provoke, communication skill-building, material development, character building, motivation, playing, storytelling, stage presence, confidence, writing and of course just getting on your feet and starting.
It all starts with what motivates you!

Creating original work and any form of solo performance is a personal journey that requires a safe and open space with constructive feedback. This workshop is exactly that and much more.

Your experience will be tailored to your individual needs!

Michelle will lead 1 three-hour workshop per week for 9 weeks. During the final week, each full workshop participant will present up to 10 minutes of new material at a Work In Progress Showcase (free invite-only, family and friends).
