Theater workshop for students planned in Hancock

June 12, 2008

HANCOCK - A three-day theater workshop sponsored by the Hancock Arts Council will begin this month.

The program will be at the Hancock Community Center in the Performing Arts Center from June 30 to July 2, from 9 a.m. to noon daily.

Students will learn the basics of acting, directing, choreography and blocking, and will help with the writing of a script that they will perform on the last workshop day.

The program is open to students from Hancock and Southern Fulton school districts and is limited to 14 students. The fee of $10 includes a workshop T-shirt for each participant.

Carolyn Mottern, art teacher for the Southern Fulton School District, will be in charge. She has directed the past several theatrical performances at SFHS including "The Emperor's New Clothes," "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" and this past fall's performance of "Oklahoma!".

Mottern has been a cast member in various high school and college musicals and operas, and has more than 17 years of dance and music experience.

The Hancock Arts Council was established in 2001 and is dedicated to the encouragement of art in all of its forms.
