How can we deal with the parts of our life that we are not prepared to face? Lyrical Escapism, written and performed by Hilary Kang Oglesby, is a love letter to music and performance. Using song and storytelling, this one woman show is equal parts concert, stand up, and deep 2am convo.
Sometimes I Pretend is a one woman show about the time you spend alone in your room, the imaginary people you can become, and the imaginary places you can visit in order to escape the real world. But what happens when being alone becomes lonely?

Join Cornerstone Theater Company for a workshop introducing the Highland Park Community Project currently in development and informed by activities and conversation with neighborhood residents.
In this exciting, fast-paced session, participants will take the first steps towards the creation and development of self-generated works of solo theater. Through both innovative and traditional movement and vocal techniques, learners will tap into and re-discover characters from their own communities, and be supported in bringing these unique characters dramatically to the stage.
The Stage Combat workshop will focus on the basic skills necessary for effective unarmed or hand-to-hand combat for the stage. Students will learn a choreographed fight with a partner that includes slaps, punches, kicks, chokes, rolls, and falls. The workshop will finish with student presentations of their fight to their peers and invited guests.
This is a two day workshop for Oxy students - students must attend both days. Space is limited and priority will be given to Theater majors and minors. Your student account will be charged $20 if you are a no show.

Students will engage in two different, introductory approaches to scene study. After learning about Meyerhold's biomechanics and learning an etude, students will workshop opens scenes with feedback. These contrasting approaches demonstrate a hybrid method in attempt to diversify acting training and complicate what we might consider "good acting."
The first challenge for every actor in every scene is to make it seem like it's actually happening. In this class exercise, Brendan Hughes will illustrate the difference between speaking extemporaneously and reciting memorized dialogue, and how to make your delivery always sound natural.
The demo will feature exercises playing with status and equality onstage, working on building both character and ensemble-sensibility (and practicing the transition from one to the other). Come ready to move!
