What
is the importance of Acting and Directing in SETC?
|
The
acting/directing committee is committed to providing
members with a wealth of opportunities to network
and share ideas. Workshops, festivals, meetings
and performances during the annual convention offer
professionals, educators and students a sense of
common ground. Contacts are made and friendships
are formed. Additional suggestions are offered each
spring at our annual meeting and we work to implement
the positive suggestions to benefit our members.
|
Who
is involved in Acting and Directing?
|
|
Any
member of SETC who wishes to be involved may be. The
acting/directing committee welcomes and encourages
cross-referenced programming, especially with the
voice and speech and stage movement committees. We
want to provide great experiences for the members
who attend the workshops at the festival and continue
to explore ways to help the members the rest of the
year.
