The basis of this workshop is in the following explanation by Eli Siegel: "According to Aesthetic Realism, acting shows that you don't have to be fettered to yourself. You can be other people....Acting is a certain way of taking the contraries of the world. It is a way of being somebody else for the purpose of coming back home immediately. You take a trip in order to find out who you are." Students take part in improvisations and prepare scenes and monologues from contemporary and classical drama, including works by O'Neill, Pinter, O'Casey, Shakespeare, Sheridan, Molière.

The Art of Singing: Technique and Feeling
Carrie Wilson

This class studies singing as a making one of opposites—ease and intensity, high and low, continuity and discontinuity, freedom and accuracy—opposites that everyone, including the singer, is trying to put together in himself or herself. With that basis there are vocal exercises dealing with the fundamentals of singing—such as breath support, resonance, legato, and agility—and individual work on songs. The aim is a oneness of the finest technique and the fullest sincerity. Beginning, intermediate, and advanced singers are welcome.

See Ms. Wilson's faculty biography and her article "Aesthetic Realism Explains the Beauty of Jazz and of Duke Ellington".
