Hi all,

Longtime Mother of Inventioner Dawn Scott will be heading off to Denver this fall to start her program at the National Theater Conservatory there. One thing that is great about this program is that it is tution free-- she will get an MFA without paying a cent. The school itself finds funding for all of its students.

Dawn told me she observed an acting class when she visited and felt completely comfortable with what she saw being taught, based on her Mother of Invention experience. Best of luck to you Dawn!

the incomparable Micaya

(This post is from the blog of the Mother of Invention Acting School in San Francisco (www.utteracting.com): an acting class in San Francisco for serious, motivated students.)


I made it back to hip-hop class today, after too long a hiatus, and it was just what the doctor ordered. It is taught by one Micaya, who has been teaching hip-hop in the Bay Area for 20 years, and choreographing and producing festivals besides. Her class is always a shot in the arm. She is always talking about the fire in the belly. Her hip-hop is not about prancin' around lookin' cute, it's about hurling thunderbolts. And it's great for actors: so many of us carry a lot of habitual tension in our upper bodies, and so it's hard for those impulses that start in the gut (if we're lucky!) to make it up and out. But hip-hop gets you LOW, real LOW, and nobody gets you lower than Micaya. And she breaks it down so well and so clearly. She teaches with precision and fire-- two of my favorite things. You can find her class schedule at www.micaya.com. Check it out!
