WNC to Offer Master Class in Physical Theatre

Linda Posner, an actress, singer, and dancer who has been nominated for two Tony Awards, will present a master class in physical theatre on Saturday, Aug. 25, 10 a.m.-3 p.m., at Western Nevada College’s Sarah Winnemucca Hall. It is open to anyone interested in musical theatre.

The non-credit workshop will focus on expressing emotions with movement, sound and dialogue; improvisation; memorization ideas; audition tips; and scene creation. Students will actively participate in several instruction segments that will help dancers explore acting and actors explore movement.

Posner has received nominations for her performances in “Pippin” and “A Joyful Noise.” She was also featured in movies such as Ken Russell’s “Valentino” and Bob Fosse’s four-time Oscar winning “All that Jazz,” in which she portrayed the character modeled on Gwen Verdon. Currently, Posner teaches, consults, and coaches for high schools, colleges and community theaters around the country.

Cost: $30. Registration is limited; call 775-445-4249 to sign up.
