The workshop is designed to provide an opportunity for Region VIII respondents, new and old alike, to share insights into, explore concerns about, and discuss challenges most often encountered in the response process. It provides an opportunity to learn and/or update skills needed for on–site responses to productions as well as procedures for reporting results. The workshop will include viewing of Festival productions and four sessions dedicated to presentation/discussion of guidelines for response, practicum responses by participants, and feedback on these responses from the workshop directors and participating colleagues.
Sessions are scheduled to begin Wednesday, February 8th, and continue daily through Saturday, February 11th , from 8:00 am to 10:00 am each of these mornings. Faculty participants need to be able to attend the first session and at least two of the remaining three sessions.
