In
the fall of 2005, Charles Waxberg was invited by the National Theatre of Mexico
City to teach a five-day seminar in his specialty, Script Analysis. It was
attended by actors, directors, designers and producers who traveled from all
over Mexico and Latin America to participate in this workshop. Five
topics were explored with scene
s
from ten plays performed by the participants. In the morning were lecture,
discussion, and questions, followed in the afternoon by scene presentations
which were adjusted and used to manifest the concepts of that morning's topics.
Assisted in the creation and
translated by Mexican performer and director, Maria Isabel Benet, the seminar
was a major success and Charles is currently negotiating a return in 2006 to
conduct a seminar in directing using the Stella Adler philosophy. A play
will
be chosen with all rehearsals open to directors and designers to observe the
collaborative creative process of theatre as developed by the legendary Group
Theatre, of which Miss Adler was a founding member.
