Linklater Workshop and The Two Pence Lab
Join Two Pence Artistic Director and Designated Linklater Voice Teacher Trainee Tom Wells at The Acting Studio Chicago for this empowering class!
This course is based on Kristin Linklater’s methodology laid out in her book Freeing the Natural Voice. Work will focus on becoming aware of personal physical/psychological blocks that inhibit the human instrument, and then removing those blocks.
Through group floor and standing work, demonstration and exercises students will begin to establish, register, and free their connection to breath, develop resonance and explore range, learn to release jaw, tongue, and throat tensions and build vocal strength.
Explore, discover, and reveal the depth of your own vibrant human instrument.
Course Runs 6 Sundays, 1-3:30pm beginning September 29th. http://www.actingstudiochicago.com/class/Voice%20_Movement.html

Antique Range Available for Donation
The range is a classic white 4 burner O'Keefe and Merritt 35" Freestanding Range. Has all original knobs (1 is broken but can easily be replaced with parts online) - and worked when house was inspected but we never used it as we chose to refinish the kitchen, so it has been sitting in my garage. Ranges like this one were a staple in 1950's homes – I even saw one just like it at the 50's Prime Time Café at Disneyworld Hollywood Studios last month (It looked just like my grandmothers kitchen – crazy!)
Pictures are available here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/troykoch/sets/72157630113673656/
If interested text or call 708-545-8833 or troykoch@gmail.com.
