exercised their diverse theatrical talents all over the province and as far afield as the northwest territories through a grant from theatre ontario they are cur rently directing markham lit tle theatres upcoming produc tion of come back to the 5 and dime jimmy dean jimmy dean their connection with mlt goes back to the fall of 1981 when four of its members attended one of their weekend workshops in acting and direct- ing at geneva park on lake couchiching it was sponsored by the association of commun ity theatres central ontario their dynamic teaching skills were so impressive that a novice director requested that sears and switzer be engaged as play polishers for bedroom farce since then several members have studied with vathemattheifracting studio in t their directing style turns ev ery rehearsal into an advanced workshop in acting to the be nefit of the cast and the com pany strenuous breathing and movement exercises open each rehearsal and their techniques for drawing out emotions are in- thcrcsa sears novative and wideranging for instance last weekend the cast took turns beating the stuffing out of an old sofa with a squash racquet and were amazed at the depth and variety of feelings that were released although each pursues an in dependent acting career on stage and television sears and switzer see many advantages in directing in tandem if im in volved in the emotional content of a scene says sears i can forget that somebody is wrongly blocked over to stage left and david will spot it or vice versa although they sometimes dis agree on certain points they can talk it out and they tend to operate on the same wavelength of course we grew together as workshop leaders a long time ago adds sears the cast find working with sears and switzer exhilarating they really make you think says michele browne they coach you but they make you do the work its so self satis fying bunty webb adds were not fonryjearningnewdrarnatic techniques but we shdulclall be a lot healthier by the end of it ive discovered muscles i never knew i had and ive learned to breathe from places id never have thought possible the admiration is mutual we love working with mlt david sivitzer says switzer its a great com pany very professional and the standards are so high the de signs we get from set designer bill monahan are just like those in a professional company and the costumer maria cerone gives us not just one good choice but two or three that all work so were left with a creative choice says sears weve had 100 per cent support for whatever weve tried to do the
