Daniel Talbott (PP’08) will be teaching at Primary Stages Marvin and Anne Einhorn School of Performing Arts (ESPA) this summer. He tells us he will be teaching a site-specific directing class and also a “facing the blank page” playwriting class.
ESPA will offer new classes in filmmaking, improvisation, voiceover, yoga and pilates for actors, and special guest instructors Neil LaBute and Keira Naughton join returning faculty members Karen Braga, Mark Blum, Denny Dillon and Linda & David Laundra.
Acting, writing and directing students work closely with one another and with theater professionals. This unique platform provides students the ability to build strong relationships among each other, within the New York theater community, and beyond.
Each semester culminates with the ESPA Student Playwrights Festival, a two-week invited reading series of student playwrights’ work, presented by student actors. Students also enjoy extensive opportunities such as “Jam Sessions,” in which students are provided space to workshop new material, theater tickets, work-study, and access to the inner workings of a professional, off-Broadway theater company.
Information is available by contacting Director of ESPA Tessa LaNeve at (212) 840-9705 x212, via email at tessa@primarystages.org, or by visiting the Primary Stages ESPA website.
