Rotate Theatre Acting Workshop: Monologues & Scenes is a consent-conscious workshop series inviting artists to embrace curiosity, collaboration, and multidirectional learning while exploring our acting toolboxes and rehearsing monologues and/or short two-person scenes.
Each week consists of a highly modifiable warm-up and an activity, followed by an opportunity for each participant to play with a short piece with the help of Rotate directors, and concludes with a closing activity. Participants have the option of cold-reading a new piece each week, exploring one piece over the course of the series, or anything in between. Solos or duets from musicals are also welcome and may be workshopped a capella or with a recorded backing track.
Participants in the winter 2025 series are invited (but not required!) to perform in Rotate Theatre's spring event, Stage Test: An Evening of Works in Development, in Madison, WI.
Rotate Theatre's 2024/2025 programming includes two virtual Writing Workshop series, one running in tandem with the Acting Workshop.
